3.1 Location
The location selected for installing the Device Server / Managed Media Converter may
greatly affect its performance. When selecting a site, we recommend considering the
following rules:
1.
Install the Device Server / Managed Media Converter in a fairly cool and dry place.
See Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity
operating ranges.
2.
Install the Device Server / Managed Media Converter in a location free from strong
electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct
exposure to sunlight.
3.
Leave at least 5cm of space at the front and rear of the unit for ventilation.
4.
Affix the provided rubber pads to the bottom of the Device Server / Managed
Media Converter for grip, and to protect the case from scratching.
3.2 Wall Mount Installation
IRF-633 can also be installed by wall mounting. The backside casing provides space
for two screws each side. Identify the exact location at wall by placing the Device
Server / Managed Media Converter and marking the screw positions. Use the screw
(include in the package) and snug them well to fix the Device Server / Managed Media
Converter.
3.3 Din Rail Mount Installation
The aluminum DIN Rail attachment plate should already be affixed to the back panel of
the Device Server / Managed Media Converter. If you need to attach the DIN Rail plate,
assure that the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top. Attaching the Device
Server / Managed Media Converter to the DIN rail is easy, just align, and attach the top
rail, then press down and snap forward the Device Server / Managed Media Converter
to snap in the bottom rail, as shown in the figures below.
