2 Installation and Connection
Your NDS should be installed on an equipment stand intended for the purpose. Four transit
screws on its underside must be removed before use. Ensure the NDS is well ventilated,
and do not stand it directly on top of another item of equipment. It should be installed in
its final location before connecting cables or switching on.
The NDS requires an external Naim 555PS, XPS or XP5 XS power supply. Connection of
external power supplies is illustrated in Diagram 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, and described in Section
2.6.
Connecting the NDS to a variety of audio peripherals and sources is described in
paragraphs 2.7 onwards. Diagram 2.2 illustrates the NDS rear panel connection sockets.

2.1 NDS Transit Screws
The four transit screws located on the underside of the
NDS must be carefully removed before use. Do not invert
the NDS to remove the transit screws but work from the
underside by positioning the NDS at the edge of a table.
The transit screws must be replaced if the NDS is to be
re-packed or shipped. The transit screw locations are
illustrated in the diagram opposite.
DO NOT INVERT THE NDS DURING OR FOLLOWING TRANSIT
SCREW REMOVAL.
