Placement and Setup
Important Notes on Installation
5 Never insert your fingers or other objects into the
space between the unit’s front face panel and the
body of the unit. Doing so might lead to injury.
5 When detaching the face panel, to ensure safety, turn
off the power and disconnect the power plug from the
electrical outlet.
5 Use with the face panel detached is dangerous and
must never be attempted.
When installing the V-1200HD, never block or place objects next to
the ventilation ports, and avoid obstructing the space between the
face panel and the unit. Otherwise, the temperature inside the V-1200HD
could rise and create the risk of malfunction due to heat.
Refer to the figure below for the locations of the ventilation ports.
* The openings are ventilation ports.
Dust buildup in the ventilation ports can impede heat radiation and
cooling of the V-1200HD, resulting in malfunction. Regularly check
the ports and clear away any buildup of dust or other material.
For the ventilation ports on the front of the V-1200HD, use the
procedure shown below to remove the face panel and clear away
any dust.
1.
Use a hex wrench (3 mm across flats) to loosen the
mounting screws (6) specified in the figure and detach the
face panel.
2.
Clear away any dust buildup from the ventilation ports.
3.
Use the mounting screws (6) as shown to secure the face
panel in place again.
Important Notes on Rack Mounting
* When mounting the V-1200HD in a rack enclosure, pay attention to
the following points to ensure efficient cooling.
5 Install in a well-ventilated location.
5 Avoid blocking the cooling-fan exhaust ports in the top, rear,
and side panels of the V-1200HD.
5 Avoid mounting the unit in a sealed-type rack. In this situation,
warm air within the rack cannot escape and is drawn into the
unit, making efficient cooling impossible.
5 If the back of the rack cannot be opened, install an exhaust
port or ventilation fan at the top back surface of the rack where
warm air collects.
* The V-1200HD is heavy. Give careful attention to the following
points.
5 When mounting the unit on a rack, make sure the procedure is
carried out by two or more persons.
5 Never use only the included rack-mount angle brackets to
support the V-1200HD. Concentrating the load on only a portion
of the rack can damage to the rack.
* Also read the “Placement” (p. 8) under “IMPORTANT NOTES.”
