Sky Max Hub Orientation

This might be a strange question, but does the Sky Max Hub have to be stood up like the picture below or will it also work laying flat on its side, without overheating or any other negative effects

I have always had my hub stood up, as in the photo, mainly because it's in the window now since January of last year after had full fibre to the property fitted and had the optical network terminal box put in the living room and also because your password is on the bottom of the hub
