Choosing a Location
There are three placement options available:
y place on a desktop
y fix to a wall or inside a cabinet
y fix to a 35-mm DIN rail
Desktop
The NPort Server Lite may be placed on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop.
There are four rubber pads attached to the bottom of the server, and we
recommend leaving sufficient room between the unit and neighboring equipment
to create enough clearance for air to circulate.
Do not put anything on top of the unit, since this could damage the internal
components and obscure the server’s LCD screen.
