IBM System/36 User Manual

Appendix B. Noise Considerations
You can reduce noise by modifying your ceiling. A dropped porous
ceiling works best. If there are overhead ducts, prevent these ducts
from transmitting sound from another area into your data
processing area.
In large rooms, you can reduce noise by applying acoustical
material to the floor. If carpeting is used as a floor covering in the
data processing area, it should be an antistatic type or should be
treated to prevent or minimize static buildup.
Acoustic Environments
The 5364 System Unit and the devices that attach to it described in
this manual, were acoustically designed for the general business
area and/or the quiet office area. For the best satisfaction with the
noise level, devices acoustically designed only for the general
business area should not be installed in a quiet office area. If the
5364 is installed in a quiet office area, devices attached to it
intended for use in a general business area should be located in an
area less sensitive to noise.
The following are intended for use in the general business area:
• 4214 Model 2 Printer
• 4224 Printer
• 4234 Model 2 Printer
• 4245 Models T12 and T20 Printers
• 5219 Printer
• 5224 Printer
• 5225 Printer
• 5256 Printer
• 5262 Model 1 Printer
