CHAPTER 2
The SIM 3 Hardware
All amplifier modules and directly associated audio equipment (mixing consoles, processors,
etc.) must be connected to the AC power distribution in a proper manner, preserving AC line
polarity and connecting earth ground such that all grounding points are connected to a single
node or common point using the same cable gauge as the neutral and line(s) cable(s).
CAUTION: Improper grounding connections between loudspeakers and the
rest of the audio system may produce noise, hum and/or serious damage to
the input/output stages in the system’s electronic equipment.
CAUTION: Before applying AC power be sure that the voltage potential
difference between neutral and earth ground is less than 5 V AC.
2.1.2.2. Video Output
SIM 3 is equipped with a 15-pin D-Sub analog video output. A monitor with at least a 1024 x
768 resolution is required.
NOTE: SIM 3 is not compatible with the ITech model RKP1415C rack-mount
keyboard/monitor combination.
2.1.2.3. PS-2 Mouse and Keyboard Inputs
Refer to “Front Panel PS-2 Mouse and Keyboard Inputs” section earlier in this chapter for
more information on these connectors.
2.1.2.4. Ethernet Connection
SIM 3 comes equipped with an RJ-45 Ethernet port. This port is reserved for future use for
such operations as enabling additional diagnostic and file transfer functions.
CAUTION: Do not use the RJ-45 Ethernet port. At present, this is reserved for
factory use only.
