[comp.sys.sun] OK to mount a Sun 3/50 on its side?

js@princeton.edu (11/04/90)

My desk, graced with a diskless colour Sun 3/60 and a Mac, is a bit
cramped, and I'm looking for ways to free up space.  Does anyone out there
have any experience setting a 3/60 (cpu box, not monitor :-) on its side,
tower-style?  Is there any reason why that shouldn't work, assuming
reasonable support?  How much ventilation space does it need?

Responses via email, please; I'll summarise for the net if there's
interest.

I got several responses to my query whether it's okay to mount a diskless
Sun 3/60 on its side.  All said it was fine to do so, as long as the fan
is kept clear and dust-free.  I got the same information from a Sun field
engineer.
