support service features extending well beyond the standard warranty period. Please see

ProTek plan options.
SECTION 3.4 RACK MOUNTING
Most NewTek systems are designed for convenient mounting in standard 19” racks (mounting rails are
available separately from NewTek Sales). Please keep in mind that adequate cooling is a very important
requirement for virtually all electronic and digital equipment.
We recommend allowing 1.5 to 2 inches of space on all sides for cool (i.e., comfortable ‘room temperature’)
air to circulate around the chassis. Good ventilation at the front and rear panel is important, and both TC1
and VMC1 also require ventilated space above the unit (1RU minimum is recommended).
Hint: When operating your system in a ‘road case’ for mobile production, it’s best to do so with both the front
and back covers (of the road case) removed.
When designing enclosures or mounting the unit, supplying good free air movement around the chassis as
discussed above should be viewed as a critical design consideration. This is especially true in fixed
installations where the unit is installed inside furniture-style enclosures. See Appendix E for more detail.
