Positioning the Internet Firewall
when installing the internet firewall, make sure that:
1 it is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.
2 cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers.
3 water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
4 air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. 3com recommends that you provide a minimum of 25.4mm (1 in.) clearance.
