Prior to Installation

Precautions for installation

 It is recommended that this device be installed in a 19-inch rack case, rather than under

general consumer environment conditions.

 Make sure that the ambient temperature inside the rack does not exceed 35°C.

 If installing more than one S-Box, ensure that there is a space of at least 1U (approximately

44.45 mm) between the S-Boxes to prevent the vent on top of each S-Box from being

blocked.

 Make sure the vent faces upward. Do NOT install the device in portrait orientation or upside

down.

 Make sure the vent on top is not blocked to prevent the device from overheating.

 Exercise caution to ensure that no foreign material enters the vent on top of the device.

 If installing the device close to a wall, make sure that there is a space of at least 10 mm

between the wall and the four sides of the device to ensure good ventilation.

 Make sure that there is a space of at least 50 mm between the wall and the rear ports of

the device to gain access for connection of cables.
