Unpacking
Upon receipt of the equipment examine packing for obvious signs of damage. If damaged,
do not unpack and inform the carrier immediately. Check thanks to the included packing
list if all the items are present and if they show any mechanical damage. If yes, report
damage or the missing parts to EVS or their appropriate representative.
Ventilation and Rack Mounting
Adequate ventilation is obviously required for optimum performance. As a result of this
consideration, ensure that no other equipment is located close to the mainframe.
Warning
• Remember that fans are used to air cool the equipment and protect it from
overheating.
• Do not block fans intakes during operations.
Having regard to the weight of the server chassis, support guides are required for this unit
into the rack mount. The front ears of the unit are not designed to support its full weight.
Applying full weight on these might result in bending the metal plate.
Boards Checking
The main power switch is located at the front side (lower right corner) of the unit.
Before turning on the power, open the front door of Video disk recorder unit to check if all
boards fit into their guides. If a board is out of its guides, remove carefully the board and
replace it in the same slot.
