operating temperature around +20°C. It is also recommended that the area around the unit is
kept free from dust and static electricity.
All connections to the unit are on the rear side of the cabinet and available space for cable

position of the cabinet.
Note The recommended keyboard cable length is 3.3 m (10 feet) maximum without
degradation. If longer keyboard cable is needed, please use keyboard extender.
