About Rack Mounting
Attaching the included rack-mount angles lets you install the V-160HD in a 19-inch rack.
Attaching the Rack-Mount Angles
- Turn off the power to the V-160HD and disconnect the power cord and all connection cables.
- Use the included mounting screws (three per side) to attach the rack-mount angles.
Both of the rack-mount angles have the same shape; there is no difference
between left and right.
NOTE
When uninstalling the rack-mount angles Before uninstalling the rack-mount
angles, turn off the power to the V-160HD and disconnect the power cord and
all connector cables.
Important Notes on Rack Mounting
- Before mounting, turn off the power to the V-160HD and detach the power cord and all connection cables.
- When mounting the unit, take care not to pinch your fingers etc.
- To prevent incorrect operation or malfunction, take care not to subject areas protruding beyond the rack to accidental impact.
- To ensure room for connectors and cables, leave 2U of clearance above the unit.
- Use all threaded holes (at 2 locations on each side, for a total of 4) to secure the unit to the rack using screws. Screws for rack mounting are not included.
- Never transport the rack with the unit installed in it. The impact of shaking or vibration might deform the rack-mount angles.
- When mounting the V-160HD in a rack, pay attention to the following points to ensure efficient cooling.
- Install in a well-ventilated location.
- Avoid blocking the cooling-fan intake and exhaust ports on the side panels of the V-160HD.
- Avoid mounting the unit in a sealed-type rack. Warm air within the rack cannot escape, making efficient cooling impossible.
- If the back of the rack cannot be opened, install an exhaust port or ventilation fan at the top back surface of the rack where warm air collects.
- Also read the “Placement” (p. 12 and the leaflet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY”) under “IMPORTANT NOTES.”
USING THE UNIT SAFELY
WARNING AND CAUTION
- Use only the supplied power cord Use only the attached power cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other device.
- Keep small items out of the reach of children To prevent accidental ingestion of the parts listed below, always keep them out of the reach of small children. ¹¹ Included Parts: Screws (p. 11)
- Handle the ground terminal carefully If you remove the screw from the ground terminal, be sure to replace it; don’t leave it lying around where it could accidentally be swallowed by small children. When refastening the screw, make that it is firmly fastened, so it won’t come loose.
- Precautions concerning use of phantom power supply Always turn the phantom power off when connecting any device other than condenser microphones that require phantom power. You risk causing damage if you mistakenly supply phantom power to dynamic microphones, audio playback devices, or other devices that don’t require such power. Be sure to check the specifications of any microphone you intend to use by referring to the manual that came with it.
