When mounting the unit in an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan at the top of the rack,
note that excessive heat generated by devices at the bottom of the rack can be drawn
upward and into the ventilation slots of units located at the top. Make certain to provide
adequate ventilation for equipment installed at the bottom of the rack.
Open Racks: Make certain that the rack frame does not block the ventilation slots on the
instrument cover. If the device is installed on sliders, check the unit when seated all the
way into the rack to make certain that ventilation slots are not blocked.
