Installing the BCM50 unit on the rack-mount shelf
The rack-mount shelf has slots molded into its surface to which you attach the BCM50 units. By
attaching the BCM50 units to these slots, you can prevent someone from accidently knocking
them off the rack-mount shelf.
Caution: To keep the BCM50 system operating at the optimal internal temperature, keep
the top, sides, and rear clear of obstructions and away from the exhaust of other equipment.
Place no objects, except other BCM50 units, on top of the main unit.
