Quick Start
The following sections explain how to install your Scala L3 Computer.
First ensure that you are familiar with the associated Scala Player Setup Guide which is supplied with the unit. It
contains important information regarding the configuration and operation of the unit.
The Scala Player is supplied with an image containing the Scala Player software as well as a number of Pre Set
User Accounts.
The necessary hardware required to support the software is all included so there should be no need to add any
additional hardware, however, instructions are provided later in the document for fitting or replacing any
hardware.
When positioning the unit in its surroundings, care should be taken not to restrict the natural airflow of the unit.
As a desktop unit, cool air enters through the top vent and warm air is vented from the sides and the rear. When
attaching cables to the rear of the chassis do not press or fold them too tightly. Doing so can cause fractures
inside the cables resulting in poor signal quality.
The unit may be used free-standing, but it is recommended that it be securely mounted to avoid accidental
damage. The actual mounting details will vary depending upon the application.
There are four M3 tapped holes on each end of the chassis for mounting brackets, etc. Do not use screws longer
than those supplied to mount the unit, otherwise internal damage may result. If alternative screws are used,
please ensure that they do not enter the chassis by more than 5mm, otherwise internal damage may result.
If you did not purchase mounting brackets but find that you actually need them, then contact
with details of the particular mounting arrangement you require to see
if something suitable already exists.
If the unit is to be used free-standing fit the adhesive synthetic rubber feet to the base. These will prevent the
unit slipping on a smooth surface.
Connect the display to the VGA, DVI or HDMI connector, and connect any other signals, e.g. LAN. Connect
the power lead to a suitable AC power source. It is recommended that the supply be fused at 5A. [Please note
that the Scala L3 does not support Dual Digital operation]
Press the 'Power On' button and check that the unit boots up.
