Follow the guidelines below when installing your computer in an enclosure. CAUTION: Before installing your computer in an enclosure, read the safety instructions that shipped with your computer. NOTICE: The operating temperature specifications indicated in this document reflect the maximum ambient operating temperature. The room's ambient temperature needs to be a consideration when installing your system in an enclosure. For example, if the ambient room temperature is at 25° C (77° F), depending on your system's specifications, you may only have 10° C (18° F) before you reach your system's maximum operating temperature For details about your computer's specifications, see "Specifications" on page 29. • Leave a 10.2-cm (4-in) minimum clearance on all sides of the computer that have air vents to permit the airflow required for proper ventilation. Non-ventilated sides of the system can be placed close to the sides of the enclosure. However, for acoustic and vibration optimization, the system sides should not touch the enclosure unless there are isolating features present. These isolation features are typically only on the bottom of a system, however, on some systems, an additional side has these isolation features. 22 Setting Up Your Computer
