Mounting Clearances

When selecting an installation site for the computers, be sure to allow adequate clearance on the
sides and rear of the computer for proper ventilation, cable connection, and hardware access.
Sufficient airflow throughout the system unit is required to maintain proper cooling. Clearance
should be enough to allow convenient installation or removal of peripheral components, such as
the CompactFlash card.

IMPORTANT

Use adequate ventilation or other cooling methods to maintain the product
temperature at its specified rating.

Because of self-heating, do not operate the computer in an enclosure by using
the minimum clearances unless adequate ventilation or other cooling methods
are used to lower the temperature within the enclosure.

The minimum required enclosure size is 403 x 497 x 154 mm
(15.87 x 19.57 x 6.06 in.) (HxWxD).
