(1)Turn off the system’s power switch. (2)Unplug all the cables from the system. (3)Fasten the mounting bracket for slide rails to both side of the machine tightly using the provided screws.
Up to the input voltage of 125V, use the power cable and a 3P-2P conversion adapter (when being used in Japan) supplied by FAST, to prevent electrical shock and fire. Connect the main plug to the AC outlet with a protective ground terminal.
FV3000 3.5 Daily Inspection The components may deteriorate due to heat, humidity, dust, frequent operation or other factors, and that can result in an accident. Check the following during daily inspection. Caution The fan of the FV3000 has a large air intake. Inspect the fan at least once every 6 months. If the dust filter is not clean or clogged, clean or replace it.
FV3000 3.6 Saving Data 【 FV3000-DOS 】 Unlike a hard disk (HDD), a flash file unit (CompactFlash Card) has no mechanical parts and therefore is highly reliable. However, the programs and data files may be lost if power is turned off or the device malfunctions while data is accessed.
FV3000 4.Names of Parts 4.1 Appearance Front Panel Air Intake with filter Rear Panel Ventilation Holes 4.1.1 Air Intake & Ventilation Holes The air intake is a vent for cooling parts in the machine. As the CPU and the frame grabber generate a large amount of heat, make sure that the fan is running.
Function of POWER Switch 【 FV3000-W2K 】 The POWER switch is equivalent to a general computer power switch. If you press this switch while the power switch on the rear is ON, it will turn OFF the system. In this case, press the POWER switch again to restart the system.
