Hi the unit is only warrantied to run on an inside climate controlled environment.
Due to changes in humidity/snow/rain and moisture or heavy dust going into the unit can damage it and that is at your own risk.

I have a Glass Balcony that protects the area from humidity, snow or rain.

Please share the specs for the environment that the unit must be operated:
1) Temperature: Min/Max/Rate of Change
2) Humidity: Min/Max/Rate of Change
3) Dust: Max

I want to additionally purchase x2 BTC Apollo II Standard Miners to connect to my Apollo II Full Node via USB to increase the hashpower.
I need to plan the environment and the layout of the units.
Is it true that an Apollo II Full Node can only accommodate 2 Apollo II Standard Miners?

Please advise.
I will share their response.
I am pleased with Futurebit's response:

Hi temp ranges are from 5-40c, and humidity under 90% but making sure you are not operating near the dew point is what is essential, as this will cause condensation to form on the unit and cause damage.

As long as there is no head dust buildup on the unit, its intake or exhaust you should be fine, but will most likely require frequent cleaning to insure no dust settles on sensitive components.

You are not limited to two units and can run as many as your power/breaker allows with a USB hub.
