disconnected last. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication,
refer to the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
document that accompanied
this device.
Warning
This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area
is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special
tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority
responsible for the location. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the
publication, refer to the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
document that
accompanied this device.
Setting the Chassis on a Desktop
The location of the chassis is extremely important for proper operation. Equipment placed too close
together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and shutdowns, and can
make maintenance difficult. The following information will help you to plan the location of the chassis:
•
Plan for access to both front and rear panels of the chassis.
•
Ensure that the room where the chassis operates has adequate ventilation. Remember that electrical
equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not cool equipment to acceptable operating
temperatures without adequate ventilation.
Attach the rubber feet as shown in
Figure 3-1
. Rubber feet are included in the accessory kit that shipped
with your universal gateway.
