Environmental Requirements
CAUTION
The criteria on this page must be observed for all VN-QUANTUM Processor
installations, whether free-standing or rack-mounted.
Orientation
The VN-QUANTUM Processor must be operated in the horizontal position only. When used free-
standing it must be placed on a stable, flat and level surface.
Temperature
DO NOT install or operate the VN-QUANTUM Processor in an area where the ambient temperature
exceeds 35°C (95°F) or falls below 5°C (35°F).
Remember that, as with all electronic equipment, the VN-QUANTUM Processor also produces heat
which will affect the ambient temperature.
Ventilation
DO NOT obstruct the front or rear ventilation grilles during operation as this will restrict the air flow
and may cause the VN-QUANTUM Processor to overheat.
A ventilation gap of at least 100mm must be left between the front and rear panels of the VN-
QUANTUM Processor and adjacent surfaces or equipment.
Humidity & Water
DO NOT install or operate the VN-QUANTUM Processor in an area in which the ambient relative
humidity exceeds 85% or in an area that is prone to condensation.
DO NOT install or operate the VN-QUANTUM Processor near water or in a location which may be
prone to water — the VN-QUANTUM Processor card frame is not waterproof.
WARNING: To avoid the possible risk of electric shock or product damage due to condensation,
ALWAYS allow the VN-QUANTUM Processor to become acclimatized to ambient temperature and
humidity for at least thirty minutes BEFORE switching on. This is particularly important when moving
the unit from a cold to a warm location.
