Physical Installation
Environment
The system is designed to be operated in a clean air-conditioned environment. Generally, an area
comfortable for people (20°C - 21°C) should be suitable. The unit is intended for rack mounting, and
it is recommended that support be given at the rear of the unit, as it is quite heavy. People installing
the SX-48 should exercise caution in lifting it into place, as back injury can result from incorrect lifting
technique.
The SX-48 uses fans for ventilation. Make sure that the rack unit has access for cool air to flow
through the opening on the front of the SX-48 and warm air to be expelled from the back. There is no
need to leave vertical spaces between SX-48 units in the rack, as long as the flow of air to and from
the fans is good.
As with all computer systems, the SX-48 will operate more reliably if static generating floor coverings
are avoided.
Do not fit the SX-48 into a closed environment except where ducted cool air is forced through the Unit.
Do not run the unit whilst it is on or near the ground as it will accumulate dust, which may eventually
cause a failure.
Please Avoid:
• Fitting the SX-48 where air circulation will be restricted
• Installing close to a heat source
• Installing in dusty or damp area
• Installing in area subject to vibration
• Installing in area with strong magnetic or electric fields
