A Philips screwdriver is required.

Selecting a site

WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, install the unit in a temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants.

When selecting a site, consider the following factors:

•Elevated operating ambient temperature—If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient temperature. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the operating temperature ("Environmental specifications" on page 36).

•Reduced air flow—In the rack, the rate of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment must not be compromised.
