Hardware Installation
The following sections provide installation instructions for the Voyager system hardware.
Unpacking the Unit
Unpack the Voyager system from the received shipping container(s), and check the contents against the packing list
to ensure all items are included. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your sales representative or Ross
Video for assistance.
Installation Requirements
Note the following installation requirements:
•
Elevated Operating Ambient
— If installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma).
•
Reduced Air Flow
— Installation of the equipment in a rack or as a desktop/tower should be such that the amount
of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment in not compromised.
•
Mechanical Loading
— Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
•
Circuit Overloading
— Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate rating should be used when addressing this concern.
•
Reliable Earthing
— Reliable earthing of rack and desktop/tower mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.
use of power strips).
Installing the System in an Equipment Rack
The Voyager system is designed to be rack mounted in a 19 inch (48.3 cm) wide equipment rack using the slide rails
in the supplied rack mount kit.
•
Rack Units
— 4 RU
•
Width
— 16.9 inches (43.0 cm), 19 inches (48.3 cm) including handles
•
Height
— 6.9 inches (17.8 cm)
•
Depth
— 23.3 inches (59.2 cm), 24.4 inches (62 cm) including handles
The slide rails must be installed onto the Voyager system before it can be mounted in an equipment rack. Instructions
for mounting the slide rails onto the Voyager system and equipment rack are included with the rack mount kit in the
Voyager system shipping box.
Failure to install the Voyager system into an equipment rack using the supplied rack mount kit will void the
Voyager system warranty.
Installation Instructions
Note the following installation instructions:
1.
This equipment has an operating temperature range of 0º C to 35º C. The ambient temperature in the rack shall
not exceed this temperature range.
2.
A minimum clearance of 0.25 inches (6.35 mm) on each side of the equipment must be maintained after
installation in the rack.
3.
Take care not to compromise the stability of the rack when installing this equipment.
