Cleanness
Dust buildup on the chassis may result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal
components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case,
electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.

NOTE:

The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and
premature aging of components, as shown in
.

Cooling
The UTM device adopts left to right airflow for heat dissipation. Plan the installation site for adequate
ventilation.
•
Leave at least 10 cm (3.94 in) of clearance at the inlet and outlet air vents.
•
The installation site has a good cooling system.
