Preparing the Site
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when planning the installation of
your chassis.
❑
Make sure that the chassis’ power is accessible and cables can be
easily connected.
❑
Cables must be away from sources of electrical noise such as radios,
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, fluorescent or
halogen light fixtures.
❑
Air flow around the chassis and through its vents on the side and back
should not be restricted.
❑
If you are using the chassis on a desktop, make sure it is placed on a
level, secure surface.
❑
Do not place objects on top of the chassis.
