INSTALLATION
Mounting
The unit may be mounted in any orientation, but care must be taken to ensure easy access to any removable
media drive (e.g. floppy disk drive, or CD-ROM drive). This includes the installation of cables.
It is imperative that the areas around the cooling fan inlets and the venting holes are not obscured. Because of
the small size of the fans, a cable passing in front of the fan inlet could present a significant obstruction to the
airflow. Any restriction will lower the maximum ambient temperature at which the unit will operate. Always
use the fixing screws provided. Using longer screws could cause internal damage.
NEC Plasma Display Panels
NEC plasma display panels incorporate a cut-away area into which the PC may be mounted. The PC is
supplied with a fixing kit comprising two brackets and fixing screws suitable for models 42PD2 and 42PD3.
The preferred orientation for the chassis on these units is mounted vertically with the front connector face
upward and the ventilated surface facing away from the body of the display. This orientation is used for any
configuration of PE2M with the 42PD3 display.
This orientation may also be used with the 42PD2 display provided that the PE2M is not fitted with a
removable-media drive (i.e. model PE2M-HDxx). When a removable-media drive is fitted, the PC chassis
has to be reversed because the carrying handle across the top of the display restricts full access to the drive.
The following sections indicate the mounting procedure.
NEC 42PD3 and 42DP2 Displays
This procedure applies to the 42PD3 with all models of PE2M, and the 42PD2 with the PE2M-HDxx.
Fit the two mounting brackets as shown in the diagram using four M4 x 6mm fixing screws. Note the
orientation of the brackets to avoid any restriction of the fans.
