1.5 Pre-installation check-list
1) The Vector VIP System can be ordered for either 110 or 220 volt power
sources.
Make sure that the system
to
be
installed has the proper PJwer supply
for the PJwer supply in your region.
2) It is recamnended but not required that the PJwer line
to
which the canputer
is connected
be
a "dedicated" PJwer line; that is, the line comes directly fran
the building's PJwer source, no other devices except another Vector VIP System
making use of it, and that it is well grounded.
The intent in this
recanrnendation is to eliminate electronic "noise" on the power line which can
affect the reliability of the system, and to avoid the loss of data if a
circuit breaker is tripped because another device short circuits or too many
devices are connected.
It is particularly critical that heavy machinery not be
connected
to
the same PJwer line.
3) Ib not install rrore than tv.D Vector VIP System's per 20A circuit.
4) Extension cords are not reca:nmended.
5) Special air-conditioning and raised floors are not required for a VIP
System.
It will function in any normal office envirornnent.
6) Do not install a Vector VIP System in an abnormally dusty or dirty
environments, due
to
the effect on the disk drives and diskettes.
7) Make sure that there is adequate area for all equipment, and that there is
adequate desk space next
to
the console.
'Ihe console should be ICM enough for
comfortable typing.
8) Make sure that the console is not directly opposite a bright open window,
which will create glare on the surface of the screen.
9) If the carpet in the ca:nputer's area is a shag or thick carpet, especially
if there is a lot of foot traffic near the computer or if the operator's chair
has rolling casters, there may be a build up of static in the operator and
passing people that can discharge into the system and cause the system to
malfunction or crash.
If you anticipate or experience this problem, spray the
carpet in the machine's vicinity once a month, or more often as needed, with
anti-static spray, available in many electronic supply
and
carpet distributors.
If the system is still affected by static, we recommend purchase of a 3M
anti-static mat
to
be placed on the floor in the canputer's area.
