Ensuring Proper Environmental Conditions
You should consider the following environmental guidelines for all hardware configuration:
• Make sure the rack in which hardware components are installed is open or ventilated. Follow
the ventilation specifications that apply to your system.
• Place all components in an air-conditioned environment. All hardware components generate
heat and must be kept cool. See “Power and Air Conditioning Requirements” on page 12.
• Keep all hardware components in a clean, dust-free location.
• Minimize vibration and humidity.
• Do not block the vents on the component housing.
• Do not drape anything, such as a jacket or a blanket, over hardware components.
• Minimize electromagnetic noise by separating digital data and power cables from analog
audio cables and running them in different cable ducts.
