Your Mentor person is correct. The DN3000 is designed to stand on its end
with the tape/floppy at the top IF THE NODE IS MOUNTED ON THE FLOOR STAND.
If the node is not mounted on the stand, you are blocking the air intake
vents on the left side of the system unit. If the node is mounted on the
stand, it's very hard to kick it over; but mostly you want to use a floor
stand to avoid blocking the vents, overheating the unit, and sucking dirt
into the system.
