1.3.1 Mounting considerations
When you select a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Locate the processor unit away from heat sources because of heat that can build
up inside the cabinet.
• The vibration at the mounting location should be minimum.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Make the service clearance of 100 mm in front of the vent hole (left side).
• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• Make sure that the ground wire is connected between the earth terminal on the
chassis and the ship’s earth.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the processor unit is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page i to prevent com-
pass malfunction.
• Do not remove the dummy plate to prevent the wrong operation of the power switch.
The items behind the plate are for use by the serviceman.
• Mount the processor unit on the floor, or on a bulkhead with the following direction
(horizontal), because of the DVD drive unit.
Keep the
dummy
plate in this
position.
