CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION

This chapter provides hardware installation instructions and mounting guide for all
available mounting options. Pay attention to cautions and warning to avoid any
damages

2.1 Wiring Requirements

The following common safety precautions should be observed before installing
any electronic device:
 Strive to use separate, non-intersecting paths to route power and
networking wires. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross make
sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
 Keep the wires separated according to interface. The rule of thumb is that
wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics may be bundled
together.
 Do not bundle input wiring with output wiring. Keep them separate.
 When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices
in the system.
CAUTION
 Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same
conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics
(i.e., different interfaces) should be routed separately.
 Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your
device.
 Verify the maximum possible current for each wire gauge, especially for
the power cords. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum
current allowable for each wire gauge.
 If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat,
causing serious damage to your equipment.
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal
components generate a lot of heat which may leave the outer casing too hot to
touch.
