NOTE

If the device is installed in an A66E cabinet, the default distance between

mounting bars is 375 mm.
NOTE NOTICE
Keep any objects or obstructions at least 75 mm away from the air intake
and exhaust vents to facilitate heat dissipation. The device is inserted into the cabinet from the front of he cabinet. Check the air intake and air exhaust vents of the installation site to ensure airflow is
channeled into the device from the air intake vent to the air exhaust vent.
