HORUS recommended placement in Rack

Due to confined space in a Rack furniture, adequate spacing (and ordering) between multiple Horus
units will play a significant role on the units temperature. Although Merging has spent considerable time
in optimizing the Horus power consumption in every aspect possible, the units are still drawing an
average of 35W to 45W each. The dissipation of the related heat produced by this consumption is
therefore highly dependent on the airflow and natural air convection around those units.
With highly loaded Horus units (more than 3 I/O Analog modules per unit), Merging recommends a free
space of 2U above and below each unit to ensure adequate cooling of the devices.

HORUS POWER ON

Connecting the Power Cable
The Horus unit runs on 85-240V, 50-60 Hz AC voltage. Excessive voltages can seriously damage the
Horus unit, so make sure that your AC power matches the voltage of your Horus unit. When you
connect the power, use the cable you received with your Horus unit and plug it into a grounded outlet.
For safety and EMC reasons, and to prevent audio hum, the system must be properly grounded. If your
power source does not have a standard three-prong socket, the system must be grounded in another
appropriate manner.
If your Horus unit is equipped with the Redundant Power Supply option, make sure you connect both
mains cables (one to PRI and one to SEC mains plugs on the Horus).
1. Ignite the Horus Back Panel Power Switch
2. Press the Horus Front Panel Power Button
3. The Horus front panel button will turn blue. If the panel button light isn't steady but appears to flicker,
this may indicate a fault condition and requires immediate shut down.
4. Wait until the Horus is fully started and displaying the Main Home screen.
