OL-7117-02 4-7
If you are not rack-mounting your SCE 1000, place it on a sturdy tabletop or workbench. A rubber
feet kit is included for tabletop installations.
Installation Precautions
When installing the SCE 1000 on a workbench or tabletop or in a rack, ensure that the surface is
clean and in a safe location. Please observe the following conditions:
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance at its left and right sides for airflow clearance from
the inlet and exhaust vents, and that no exhaust air from other equipment is drawn into the
SCE 1000. See descriptions and illustrations regarding air flow, see Airflow (on page 4-4) and
Fans (on page 4-5).
• Do not place the SCE 1000 on the floor during installation. Dust that accumulates on the floor
is drawn into the interior of the SCE 1000 by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the SCE
1000 can cause over-temperature conditions and component failures.
• Allow at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the SCE 1000 for
installing and rudimentary maintenance for accessing network cables or equipment.
• Ensure that the SCE 1000 will receive adequate ventilation. Do not install the SCE 1000 in an
enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate!
• Provide an adequate chassis Ground (earth) connection for the SCE 1000 (see Attaching a
Chassis Ground Connection (on page 4-15) for instructions).
Installing the SCE 1000 on a Workbench or Tabletop
You can install the SCE 1000 on any flat surface as long as the surface is large enough for the
SCE 1000 (see the table in SCE 1000 Dimensions (on page 4-3)), and allows for adequate air
flow/ventilation around the sides of the SCE 1000, as described in the Installation Precautions
(on page 4-7)).
