2.  Do not install equipment so that the air intake of one aligns with the outlet on another. 
Provide baffles and adequate spacing. 
3.  The fans contained within this unit are not fitted with a dust/insect filter. Pay particular 
attention to the environment in which it is to be used.

equipment. Units in racks can be stacked without ventilation panels between. Racks containing 
stacked equipment may need to be forced-air cooled to reduce the operating ambient 
temperature. For stacking constraints contact Advantech Customer Support.
