Your DF-30 has backwards- and top-facing exhaust fans, as well as front-mounted intake fans and one side-
mounted front air intake. For optimum performance, we recommend leaving the front air intakes unobstructed. 
 
When open, the DF-30’s Fleet-Release™ doors take up an additional 15.5 cm of space in the front. Since 
loading and unloading the DF-30’s internal Fleet-Swap™ SATA bays through the doors will require opening 
and closing them, you may wish to leave space in front of the computer open for this purpose. 
 
The DF-30 can operate resting sideways as well as vertically. Do not rest the DF-30 upside down (with the case 
feet up in the air), as this will impede operation of optical drives. 
 
The DF-30 comes with a top 2.5” Hot Swap drive bay. While it’s in a handy location, we do not 
recommend that users put any liquid-containing items (drinks, ice cream, coffee, perfume, etc.) on the drive 
bay. It was not designed for storage purposes.
