How to remove a handle cover
Note
• When rack-mounting the instrument, allow at least 5 cm of space around the bottom panel inlet holes to
prevent internal heating. Allow at least 20 cm around the rear panel exhaust holes.
• Make sure to provide adequate support from the bottom of the instrument. The support should not block
the inlet and vent holes.
• Store the removed parts in a safe place.
• When rack-mounting the instrument, remove the feet from the rear of the instrument if they are coming
into contact with the rack and are thus preventing you from rack-mounting the instrument. After you have
rack-mounted the instrument, re-attach the feet to the rear of the instrument.
In this case, be sure to attach the brackets to the instrument before you remove the feet from the rear
of the instrument. If you don’t, the instrument’s cover may come loose and fall when you rack-mount the
instrument.
Do Not Install the Instrument in the Following Kinds of Places
• Outdoors.
• In a location where flammable or explosive gasses, steam, or dust is present or a location in which
explosion or fire may occur (dangerous location)
• In direct sunlight or near heat sources
• Where the instrument is exposed to water or other liquids.
• In an environment with excessive amounts of soot, steam, dust, or corrosive gas
• In an environment that is subject to large levels of mechanical vibration
• On an unstable surface
