Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as
defined by your local electrical codes. Ideally, you connect each power supply to a separate circuit.
Environmental temperature between 32° – 122°F (0° – 40°C).
Relative humidity that does not exceed 90% non-condensing.
In a dry, clean, well-ventilated and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot air
vents or direct sunlight.
Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
Positioned in a rack, cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the unit
for proper ventilation, and access (see below).
