Improper cooling can lead to blade and system damage and can void the manufacturer’s
warranty.
To ensure proper cooling and undisturbed airflow through the system always operate the
system in a horizontal position. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings at the top, sides and
back of the system. Keep the fresh air intake at the bottom-front side of the chassis completely
clear. Make sure that the fresh air supply is not mixed with hot exhaust from other devices.
Make sure that all slots are populated with either blades, filler blades, or dummy blades.
Product Damage
High humidity and condensation on surfaces cause short circuits.
Do not operate the product outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the product
is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power.
