INSTALLATION Installation Please refer to the safety section first before proceeding with any installation or configuration of the Orion Extender. When installing the Orion Extender, locate the transmitter as close as possible to the CPU or switch. Keep the cables as short as possible but still give some freedom of movement. Using shorter cables keeps the video noise to a minimum and reduces installation costs. You can mount the Orion Extender in a CPU rack with the optional rack mount kit.
