Section II
INSTALLATION
GENERAL
This section of the manual addresses the physical installation
of the 541 at its operating location, the ‘nuts and bolts’ of con-
necting the unit. This section also references pages where per-
tinent setup options and adjustments are discussed.
Unpacking and
Inspection
As soon as the equipment is received, inspect carefully for any
shipping damage. If damage is found or suspected, notify the
carrier at once, and then contact Inovonics.
We recommend that you retain the original shipping carton and
packing materials for possible return or transshipment. If re-
turned for Warranty repair, shipping damage sustained as a re-
sult of careless packing for return may invalidate the Warranty!
IT IS IMPORTANT to register the Warranty of your 541. This
assures coverage of the equipment under Warranty terms, pro-
vides a means of tracing lost or stolen gear, and adds the user
to a database to receive specific service instructions or soft-
ware/firmware updates when issued. Register online at:

NOTE: Many users choose first to familiarize themselves with
equipment on the bench or at their desk, in which case they
may immediately turn to Section III that describes setup and
use of the 541 monitor. When the time comes, do please refer
back to this section to confirm proper physical installation and
interconnection with other station equipment.
MOUNTING, POWER AND ENVIRONMENT
Rack
Requirement
The 541 is a 2U rack-mount package, occupying a nominal
3½ inches of vertical rack space.
Heat Dissipation
As a result of its power-efficient design, the 541 generates little
heat itself. This obviates the noisy internal fan and bothersome
filter of many other lab-grade instruments. The unit is speci-
fied for operation within an ambient temperature range extend-
ing from freezing to 120°F/50°C. Because adjacent, less-
efficient gear may radiate substantial heat, be sure that the
equipment rack is adequately ventilated to keep internal tem-
perature below the specified maximum ambient.
