Installing the VM-4DVI-R 1:4 DVI Distributor on a Rack 

 

5  Installing the VM-4DVI-R 1:4 DVI Distributor on a Rack 

This section describes what to do before installing on a rack and how to rack 

mount. 

Before installing on a rack, be sure that the environment is 

within the recommended range:

Operating temperature range +5 to +45 Deg. Centigrade

5 to 65% RHL, non-condensing

-20 to +70 Deg. Centigrade
5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

Operating humidity range
Storage temperature range
Storage humidity range

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking 

care that:

It is located within the recommended environmental 

conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a 

closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the 

room ambient temperature.

Attach both ear brackets to the 

machine. To do so, remove the 

screws from each side of the machine 

(3 on each side), and replace those 

screws through the ear brackets.

Place the ears of the machine 

against the rack rails, and insert the 

proper screws (not provided) through 

each of the four holes in the rack 

ears

.

 Note that:

Detachable rack ears can be removed 

for desktop use
Always mount the machine in the rack 

before you attach any cables or 

connect the machine to the power 
If you are using a Kramer rack adapter 

kit (for a machine that is not 19"), see 

the Rack Adapters user manual for 

installation instructions (you can 

download it at: 

http://www.kramerelectronics.com)

In some models, the front panel 

may feature built-in rack ears

Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the 

machine.
The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal 

position.

You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting 

the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the 

circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent 

protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate 

nameplate ratings for information. For example, for 

fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product 

label.

The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way 

and is connected only to an electricity socket with 

grounding. Pay particular attention to supply 

connections other than direct connections to the 

branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips), 

and that you use only the power cord that is supplied 

with the machine.
