1. Technical Specifications
1.1 Transport and installation
The device must be transported safely packed in the box it is delivered in. It can also be
transported if mounted properly and safely in a 19” rack itself designed and purposed for the
transport intended.
When used, the device must be placed on a flat surface or mounted in a 19” rack with the use of
4 screws, one in each of the mounting holes on the front side.
1.2 Power Supply
The device is turned on or off by pressing once the ON/OFF switch on the devices front. The
switch will be lit when the device is on. Booting up usually takes less than 30 seconds but can
take up to 2 minutes.
The device should be fed adequate and stable power AC 100-240V 12A 50/60Hz. It means that it
practically works in most countries but do make sure that you are indeed connecting it to a
suitable power socket as to not blow its fuse. If the quality of the power isn’t good enough, it
could result in a power failure or even damage to the device. In the event of a power loss the
device will turn off which might result in the loss of all the data on the USB devices connected to
it.
1.3 Cooling system
The device theoretically generates a maximum of 1109 BTU/hour. In practice that number is
lower. The heat is dissipated through the chassi and a fan on the devices backside. Air circulation
is made possible by holes on the devices topside and sides. Make sure no to cover these holes or
leave appropriate distances above the device for a correct airflow. Failure to do this may result in
overheating in which case the chassi might become quite hot and the device turns off to avoid
heat damage.
OBS! Do not cover the devices sides, backside or topside. Leave appropriate space for a correct
airflow.
