Installing the VS-41HDMI on a Rack 

 

5  Installing the VS-41HDMI on a Rack 

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

mount. 

 

Before Installing on a Rack 

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

within the recommended range: 
Operating temperature range  +5 to +45 Deg. Centigrade 
Operating humidity range 

5 to 65 % RHL, non-condensing 

Storage temperature range 

-20 to +70 Deg. Centigrade 

Storage humidity range 

5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing 

 

 

 CAUTION!! 

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

that: 

1

 

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. 

2

 

Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the 

machine. 

3

 

The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal 

position. 

4

 

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. 

5

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to Rack Mount 

To rack-mount the machine: 
1

 

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. 

 

2

 

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: 

 In some models, the front panel 

may feature built-in rack ears 

 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
