2. There must not be any deformations on the housing, fixation and installation spots (rack, suspension, trussing).
3. The electronic power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.
4. Ventilation ports must be clear of any debris.
5. Inner ventilation power supply fan must be clear of any debris.
