1.4. Environmental requirements
To ensure good air flow through and around the module after installation, do not
obstruct either the fans and vents at the rear or the vent at the front. Ensure that there is
an air gap around the module, and that the rack itself is located in a position with good
air flow.
1.4.1. Temperature and humidity recommendations
We recommend that your module operates within the following environmental
conditions.

1.4.2. Cooling requirements
Adequate cooling of your module is essential for trouble-free operation and a long
operational life. During operation, you can use the supplied stattree utility to check the
actual and maximum temperature of the module. You are advised to do this directly after
installing the unit in its normal working environment. Monitor the temperature of the unit
over its first few days of operation.
In the unlikely event that the internal encryption module overheats, the module shuts
down (see Module Overheating). If the whole nShield Connect overheats, the orange
warning LED on the front panel illuminates (see Orange warning LED) and a critical error
message is shown on the display.
