4.3 Placement guidelines
• Place the FreeSpace 4400 system where it is protected from
heat and allowed adequate ventilation.
• Place the FreeSpace 4400 system away from direct heat
sources, such as heating vents and radiators.
• Make sure that air can circulate freely behind, beside, and
above the chassis for adequate ventilation. There are intake
vents on the sides and an exhaust vent on the back of the unit.
Do not cover or block the vents.
Installer’s Note: Do not allow the chassis to exceed the
maximum operating temperature of 50° C (122° F). Be aware
of conditions in an enclosed rack that may increase the tem-
perature above room-ambient conditions.
4.4 Shelf mounting the FreeSpace
4400 system
The FreeSpace 4400 system is ideal for shelf mounting. The
included accessory kit contains four rubber feet for the bottom of
the FreeSpace 4400 chassis. The rubber feet will protect the sur-
face on which the FreeSpace 4400 system is installed and help
prevent movement of the FreeSpace 4400 system. Be sure to fol-
low the “Placement Guidelines” previously described when
choosing a location for the FreeSpace 4400 system.
