Controller Set-up

Position and Location
The PathPilot controller should be placed inside the stand cabinet. This storage area is large enough to
provide adequate cooling without the need for additional fans. It should be positioned either vertically or
horizontally in a location where it will remain clean and dry. If vertical, rest it on rubber pads; if horizontal,
the optical drive should be on top. If the controller cannot be placed in the stand cabinet, it should be placed
in a location that provides similar protection from coolant, chips, etc.
