Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

I have this S1000 that I haven't been able to use because I don't have
a suitable space for it; well now that I am planning on building a
desk for my synth, I have an idea to place the sampler behind the
synth. Howerver, in order for it to fit, I'd have to hang the S1000
with the front facing the ceiling.

Is there any issue with this as far as functionality?
