Choosing a Location

There are three placement options available. NPort Server Lite can be:

•placed on a desktop,

•fixed to a wall or inside a cabinet, or

•fixed to a 35-mm DIN Rail.

Desktop

One option is to place NPort Server Lite on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. There are four rubber pads attached to the bottom of the server, and we recommend leaving sufficient room between NPort Server Lite and neighboring equipment to create enough clearance for air to circulate.

You should also remember not to put anything on top of NPort Server Lite, since this could damage the internal components and obscure the server’s LCD panel.
