Correct installation position:
The high-performance CX1020 system generates a significant amount of heat, which is dissipated via a passive
ventilation system. This system requires the unit to be mounted correctly. Ventilation openings are located at the top
and bottom of the housing. The system therefore has to be installed horizontally. This ensures optimum air flow.
Incorrect installation positions:
The CX1020 system must not be operated vertically on the top-hat rail. A vertical position would lead to insufficient
CPU ventilation, since the ventilation openings are located on the top and bottom of the housing. Installation of the
system on its side would also lead to inadequate ventilation.
