Installing the Equipment
Chapter 2 Installing the Equipment
2.1 Read This First!
This Reference Guide is written for operators / users of the IVP-3000. It describes the unit’s
functions and operation. The Reference Guide is written to assist in the installation and
day-to-day operation and care of the unit. Maintenance information requiring the covers to be
removed is not included.
2.2 Mounting and Ventilation
2.2.1 Fixing and Rack Mounting
The equipment is designed for fixed use only and has been shipped with fixing brackets suitable
for a standard 19-inch rack. When installed in a rack, it should be secured using the fixing
brackets. In addition, support shelves must be used to reduce the weight on the brackets. Ensure it
is firmly and safely located and it has an adequate free-flow of air.
Slide the unit onto the chassis supports and affix to the rack by means of an M6 x 18 mm panhead
screw in each corner.
A freestanding unit should be installed on a secure horizontal surface where it is unlikely to be
knocked or its connectors and leads disturbed.
2.2.2 Ventilation
Side openings in the unit, as well as rear-mounted cooling fans, are provided for ventilation. They
ensure reliable operation of the product and protect it from overheating. The openings of the fans
must not be blocked or covered.
