INSTAllATION AND OPERATION
MECHANICAl INSTAllATION
The Octadrive DSP-DN is designed to be mounted in a
standard 19” equipment rack. The front panel is fitted with
rackmount ears for this purpose. The Octadrive DSP-DN
occupies 1U of vertical rack space.
Ventilation
The Octadrive DSP-DN is cooled by natural convection.
The unit should remain within its operational temperature
range under most circumstances, but if it is to be installed
in a location of high ambient temperature, and/or in a
rack containing a significant quantity of heat-generating
equipment (see below), consideration should be given to
climate-controlling the room in which the equipment rack
is situated.
Installation of the Octadrive DSP-DN in a 19”
rack immediately above or below another item of
equipment generating a significant amount of heat (e.g., a
power amplifier) is not recommended. Plain or slotted 1U
blank panels should be used as spacers.

The Octadrive DSP-DN incorporates a “universal” PSU, and
will operate on all AC mains voltages from 100 V to 240 V
(50 or 60 Hz). The device has an internal mains fuse which
is not user serviceable.
The PowerCon
®
connector should NEVER be
plugged in or unplugged while AC mains is
present. This applies whether or not the device is switched
on. ALWAYS isolate the AC mains supply at its source
before plugging or unplugging the connector.
Warning
- This apparatus is a Class I device and
must be connected to a mains socket outlet that
provides a safety ground connection.
Warning
- Presence of mains voltage is not
indicated by the LEDs labeled ‘Power supply’ on
the front and rear panel. These LEDs are related to the
status of the internal mains-operated power supply and
cannot be used as mains voltage indicators.
If the mains switch of the Octadrive DSP-DN is
not readily accessible after installation to
disconnect the unit when necessary, the mains connection
to the Octadrive DSP-DN should incorporate a manual
circuit breaker or an accessible mains plug.
