Physical/Structural - Solid State Logic C200 Installation Manual

Pre Installation Information
Section 3
Physical Requirements
Console Control Surface
The console control surface can be specified to have from 16 to 96 channels so the size and weight will vary considerably.
A dimensioned footprint drawing for each specific console control surface can be provided by SSL's Project Engineering
Department. See page 8 for an example of a 32-channel footprint.
Consoles can be built with split points at any profile.The console can then be split for shipment to simplify installation into
client's premises. Reassembly will be by SSL engineers.
Refer to Appendix A for weights and power consumption information.
Rack Mounting Equipment – Centuri, NetBridge and Stageboxes
The Centuri Processor is a 15U height chassis into which a range of I/O cards can be fitted.The system's processing and
DSP resource is also housed in the Centuri rack. The Centuri is therefore fitted with cooling fans and is expected to be
housed in a separate 'machine' room.
A 19" equipment rack will need to be provided into which the Centuri Processor can be mounted. Note when positioning
the rack that cards are inserted into the Centuri Processor from both the front and the rear depending on function.
Clearance for access to cards must therefore be provided both in front of and behind the rack (see page 10 for service
clearance diagram).
NetBridge – which is an option – is a 2U high rack mounting unit.
Remotely located stageboxes (C-SBs) – which are also optional – may be specified.These are 14U rack units.
Note. Centuri, NetBridge and stagebox units MUST be supported on shelves and not only by the rack ears.
Acoustic Isolation
Because of the noise generated by cooling fans the Centuri core should be located in a separate machine room.Adequate
noise isolation should exist between the machine room and control room/recording areas.
Noise figures for individual units are given in Appendix A.
