Do not set the chassis in an area where the high acoustic noise can be an issue.
Do not place anything on top of the device that weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kg), and do not stack
device on a desktop. Excessive distributed weight of more than 10 pounds, or pound point load of 10
pounds on top could damage the chassis.
Your chassis installation must allow unrestricted airflow for chassis cooling. For placing the device on
a desktop, keep at least 1 inch (2.54 cm) of clear space beside the cooling inlet and exhaust vents.
Supply Circuit
To reduce risk of electric shock and fire, take care when connecting units to the supply circuit so that
