Unpacking the frames
Preparing the product
for installation
Before installing the frames, please do take the following step:
•
Check the product for any visible damage that may have
occurred during transit.
•
Confirm receipt of all products on the packing list.
•
Retain the original packaging for possible re-use.
See “Unpacking and shipping” for more information about returning
a product for servicing or replacement.
Note
Contact your EVS dealer if parts are missing or
damaged or when products on the packing list are
missing.
Unpacking
The EVS Synapse frame must be unpacked and installed in an
anti-
static environment
. Make sure all package material on de outside
and
the inside of the frames are removed before putting it into
operation.
Inserting into racks
SFR frames fit in standard 19” racks. Air-cooled racks are preferred.
The frame’s own cooling design works with air outlets to the side of
the units.
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be in the way
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
Please make sure there is sufficient
space and airflow on the left and right side of the frames. Also,
please make sure that when you are stacking frames directly on top
of each other, to keep a nominal distance of 2 millimetres between
the frames.
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the specified
maximum ambient temperature.
SFR frames should be mounted firmly in 19” racks by using valid
mounting material at the front. The SFR frame should also have a
solid support at the backside to prevent personal injury, damage to
the frame or improper operation.
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
