Desktop-Mount the Chassis
You can mount the chassis on a desktop by placing it on a desk in a horizontal position. Make sure there are
no blockages or obstructions within one inch of the top of the chassis or within .5 inch of the sides and back,
so that nothing interferes with cooling. Do not remove the rubber feet included with the chassis. They are also
needed for proper cooling.
Caution
Do not stack the chassis on top of another chassis. If you stack the units, they will overheat, which causes the
units to power cycle.
