The server is equipped with air vents on either side of the equipment chassis, and exhaust vents on the back. Be sure to follow these guidelines:
Do not block these air vents.
Do not place the server in a location where dirt or dust might clog the air vents or enter the chassis and damage internal components.
Do not install the device in or near a source of heat, including proximate high-current or high-power consuming equipment such as switch banks. Excessive heat might cause the server to overheat and fail.
Note:
The customer must ensure that environmental hazards do not interfere with the operation of the Avaya SBC server. These hazards could include excessive heat, excessive humidity, improper ventilation, or electromagnetic interference from proximate equipment.
