Airflow requirements
– To ensure proper airflow through the SmartNode, follow these recommendations
when you are installing your unit:
– If placed on a desktop, leave 7.62 cm (3 inches) of minimum clearance on both the left and right sides of
the unit.
– If mounted in a rack, leave a one-rack unit (1U) of minimum clearance above and below the unit for
proper airflow.
Attaching the cable retainer clip
To secure the power cord, it is necessary to attach the metal retainer clip (if applicable to your model). Squeeze
the clip and insert into the holes in the screws on either side of the power connector on your unit. The clip will
pop into place.
