Product Environment
The library is designed to operate in a general business environment.
The library meets the acoustical requirements for general business area category
2D. Category 2D states that the library should be installed a minimum of 4 m (13
ft.) from a permanent work station.
To allow for service access, install the library a minimum of 0.9 m (3 ft.) from all
obstacles.
The library is a precision computer peripheral. To ensure maximum longevity of
your library, locate the library away from dust, dirt, and airborne particulates:
v
Keep the library away from high-traffic areas, especially if the floor is carpeted.
Carpeting harbors dust and people walking on the carpet can cause the carpet
fibers and the dust to become airborne.
v
Keep the library out of printer/copier rooms because of toner and paper dust.
Additionally, do not store paper supplies next to the library.
v
Keep the library away from moving air caused by doorways, open windows,
fans, and air conditioners.
Ensure that the machine covers are always kept closed to minimize any
contamination from airborne particles.
