•
Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as
defined by your local electrical codes.
•
Environmental temperature between 32° to 113°F (0° to 45°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 or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the
S6000 for proper ventilation and access.
Cabinet Placement
Install the S6000 only in indoor cabinets designed for use in a controlled environment as described in
