Room Requirements
This section describes the requirements of the room in which the ftServer V 100,
V 200, or V 400 system will be placed.
CAUTIONCAUTION
!
Do not place the system in an area of high electrostatic
discharge. Static electricity may damage components.
Do not locate components near transformers or other
electromagnetic devices.
Make sure the location where you will install the ftServer V 100, V 200, or V 400
system:
 Provides clearances for air circulation and servicing the system. Locate the front
and rear of the system at least 2.5 ft. (0.76m) away from walls and other
obstructions.
 Maintains temperature and humidity levels within the allowable ranges and has a
thermometer and humidistat to monitor room temperature and humidity. See
Appendix A for temperature and humidity requirements.
 Is as free of dust as possible. Dust buildup in the system can impede air circulation
and heat transfer, causing components to become less reliable as the ambient
temperature rises.
