After the VNC 200 has been in use for a period of time the external casing may become slightly warm to the touch. Ensure that any adjacent surfaces will not be affected by the heat. Ventilation DO NOT obstruct the ventilation openings during use. The VNC 200 has an integral forced-air cooling system. A fan draws air in through the ventilation openings in the front panel and expels the heated air through the openings in the back panel. The fan speed is controlled automatically by an internal

Rack Mounting Always use the special under-desk mounting kits (optional) to secure the VNC 200. See “Optional Accessories” for the under-desk mounting kit. Full details on using the kit are included with each kit. It will be necessary to remove the four feet prior to rack mounting. Never place other units directly on top of the VNC 200 when it is rack-mounted as this will place excessive strain on the mounting brackets. Under-desk Mounting Always use the special under-desk mounting kit (opti
