Cables
Do not expose cables to any liquids; doing so may cause a short circuit which could damage the
equipment. Do not place heavy objects on top of any cables as this can cause damage and possibly
lead to exposed live wires.
Adapters
It is recommended that if DisplayPort to HDMI adapters are required, only Active types are used. It
is strongly advised against the use of passive adapters.
Operation of the unit cannot be guaranteed with the use of passive adapters.
Below is a list of adapter options that have been tested and recommended. These can be ordered
separately.
1.
Pluggable MDP-HDMI
2.
Benfei Active Adapters
3.
Optical Cables - HDMI and DisplayPort up to 100m
Working Environment
The system should be located in a well ventilated area free from dust, moisture and extreme
temperatures. All ventilation holes on the casing must be kept clear of any obstruction at all times.
NOTE: Failure to do so will result in the system over-heating and potentially damaging your
equipment and will invalidate the warranty.
Liquids (hot/cold drinks etc) should not be placed near the equipment as spillage could cause
serious damage.
Warning
Should you notice smoke or unusual smells being emitted from your system, turn off and unplug the
system from the mains supply. The system should then be passed to a qualified technician for
inspection. Continued operation could result in personal injury and damage to property.
