Chapter 2: Setting Up the Instrument
Before you unpack and set up the instrument, prepare a dry, flat work area that has
sufficient space for the instrument, host computer, and required cables. To provide access
for disconnecting power from the instrument, maintain a 20 cm to 30 cm (7.9 in. to 11.8 in.)
gap between the rear of the instrument and the wall. To ensure sufficient ventilation, do not
block the ventilation grid on the right side of the instrument.
WARNING!
Potential lifting hazard. To prevent injury, use a minimum of two
people to lift the instrument.
The package contains the instrument and accessories to set up the instrument:
