Epic Mini 4 Firewall - Hardware Description
Epic Mini 4 Firewall
The Epic Mini 4 Firewall is a rugged and flexible network appliance that is designed for use in many diverse applications. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically (wall-mount) and the orientation will not affect its function. For best performance, the Epic Mini 4 Firewall should be mounted so that ambient or flowing air can pass across the heatsink fins. As there are no fans, the Epic Mini 4 Firewall does not have an active cooling system and convection cooling is the primary means of removing heat from the device.
The Epic Mini 4 Firewall is expandable in function through the use of USB dongles and adapters. Please consult the applicable Help Guides or contact Sat-Elite for expansion options.
