Step 2. Position the Infiniium DCA
Step 2. Position the Infiniium DCA
Position the Infiniium DCA so that it will have sufficient clearance for airflow around the top, back, and sides. Review the following specifications to ensure that your operating or storage environment is suitable for the instrument.
NOTE Install the instrument so that the detachable power cord is readily identifiable
and is easily reached by the operator. The detachable power cord is the instrument disconnecting device. It disconnects the mains circuits from the mains supply before other parts of the instrument. The front panel switch is only a standby switch and is not a LINE switch. Alternatively, an externally installed switch or circuit breaker (which is readily identifiable and is easily reached by the operator) may be used as a disconnecting device.
CAUTION If the Infiniium DCA is mounted in a rack or cabinet, do not use the system’s
power switch to disconnect power from the Infiniium DCA. Instead, use the Infiniium DCA’s front-panel power switch. Using the system power switch may corrupt the Windows XP registry requiring you to perform a recovery process to restore normal operation to the Infiniium DCA.
