Installing on a Rack

5 Installing on a Rack

This section describes what to do before installing the Presentation Switcher /

Scaler on a rack (see section 5.1) and how to install on a rack (see section 5.2).

5.1 Before Installing on a Rack

Before installing the machine in a 19" rack, be sure that the environment is

within the recommended range:

Table 3: Recommended Ambient Temperature and Humidity Range

Operating temperature range +5 to +45 Deg. Centigrade

Operating humidity range 5 to 65 % RHL, non-condensing

Storage temperature range -20 to +70 Deg. Centigrade

Storage humidity range 5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

5.1.1 CAUTION!!

When installing the machine in a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

1. It is located within the recommended environmental conditions, as the

operating ambient temperature of a closed or multi-unit rack assembly

may exceed the room ambient temperature.

2. Once rack-mounted, enough air will still flow around the machine.

3. The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal position.

4. You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting the machine to the

supply circuit, overloading the circuits might have a detrimental effect on

overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate

nameplate ratings for information. For example, for fuse replacement, see

the value printed on the product label.

5. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way and is connected

only to an electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular attention to

supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for

example, the use of power strips), and that you use only the power cord

that is supplied with the machine.

5.2 Instructions for Rack-Mounting

To install the machine in a 19" rack, place the rack ears of the machine

against the rack rails of the rack, and insert the proper rack screws through

each of the four holes in the rack ears

1 Always mount the machine in the rack before you attach any cables or connect the machine to the power. If you are using a

Kramer rack adapter kit (for a machine that is not 19"), refer to the Rack Adapters user manual (download it at:

http://www.kramerelectronics.com) for installation instructions
