Page 24: Installing The Editor
Installing The Editor Introduction In this section you are given step-by-step instructions on how to install your Editor. We recommend that you read all instructions thoroughly at least once before doing them. The section includes: Things to consider when selecting a work space Information on cables The physical installation of the Editor A start-up/power on procedure... -
Page 25: Cable Information
— Installing The Editor Section 3 Cable Information Your Editor system was shipped with a set of cables. The number of cables depends on which Editor you ordered and what, if any, options were ordered in addition to the basic system. Cables supplied with a basic system are listed in Table 3-1. -
Page 26: Installing The Computing Chassis
Editor Installation Installing The Computing Chassis In installing the Computing Chassis, the first thing to determine is whether it is to be mounted in an equipment rack or placed on a console or table top. Console or Table Top Installation If the Chassis is to be placed on a console or table top, you may want to protect that surface by installing the four rubber feet provided as illustrated in Figure 3-1. -
Page 27: Computing Chassis Handle Installation
— Installing The Editor Section 3 Equipment Rack Installation If the Computing Chassis is to be mounted in an equipment rack, mounting hardware must first be attached to the unit. Hardware consists of handles, mounting brackets and support brackets. Figure 3-2 illustrates handle assembly which must be done before attachment to the Chassis. -
Page 28: Handle & Mounting Bracket Attachment
Editor Installation 6. Position one of the mounting brackets at the side of the unit as shown in Figure 3-3 and attach it with six of the provided 8-32 x.25 screws. 7. Repeat Step 6 to attach the other mounting bracket. 8-32 x 0.25 Handle Assembly (six each side) -

Page 30: Expansion Chassis Installation
Editor Installation Expansion Chassis Installation Although the Expansion Chassis may be placed on a desk, it is recommended that it be installed in the equipment rack, preferably at the rear of the rack. This will ensure that cables connected to the Chassis do not impede access to the front of the rack. -
Page 31: Placing The Keyboard
— Installing The Editor Section 3 Placing The Keyboard The Keyboard is essentially the control panel in the editing environment. As such, you want to place it in a central location where other equipment is both visually and physically at hand. Ensure that it is within 16 meters (approximately 52 feet) of the Computing Chassis and, if using the optional K5 Keyboard, within 2 meters (6 feet) of a power source. -
Page 32: Making The Connections
Making The Connections Making The Connections For the VPE-300 Series, connections are made at connectors on the rear panel of the Computing Chassis. For the VPE-351, additional connections are made to the Expansion Chassis. Also, for a VPE-351 using the K5 Keyboard, connection for that Keyboard is made on the Expansion Chassis. - Page 33 — Installing The Editor Section 3 5. If using a peripheral device, such as a Zaxcom, attach the cable from it to the PORT Ø connector. 6. Attach a K2 or K3 Keyboard cable to the KEYBOARD connector. (The K5 Keyboard installation will be made later.) Note that if you are using the K2 Keyboard extension cable, you must attach the cable grounding wire to an earth ground.
