# Installation Site Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when you select an installation site:

- Leave enough clearance in front of the rack for its door to open completely without obstruction.
- Avoid environments that produce heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields.
- Only install the appliance in a restricted access location such as a service closet or dedicated equipment room.
- Make sure the location is properly ventilated.
- Make sure there is sufficient space for air flow.
