Install the Thin Client or Computer
• The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed the following limits:
• The thin client or computer cover must always remain in place during
operation. The cover provides protection against high voltages inside
the VersaView device and inhibits radio frequency emissions that can
interfere with other equipment.
Enclosure Guidelines
• The enclosure must allow sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to
provide the circulation necessary for cooling. See
for further information. Never allow air
passages to become obstructed.
• Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often higher
than the temperature in other parts of the enclosure, especially if air is
not circulating.
Consider a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner for heat
generated by other devices in the enclosure. See
for the acceptable temperature ranges for these computers.
Mounting Clearance
Requirements
To help prevent overheating and to provide access to the thin client or
computer I/O ports for cable connections, leave at least 5 cm (2 in.) of free
space around the device.
Do not obstruct the air intake, exhaust openings, or cooling fins of the thin
client or computer cover.

IMPORTANT
VersaView thin clients and industrial computers generate heat. Therefore,
do not operate either device in an enclosure with the minimum clearances
unless adequate ventilation or other cooling methods are used to lower the
temperature within the enclosure.
