1-4.Installing the Options
w
. Unplug the power supply cord before starting installation
work.
If installation work is started with the power supply
turned on, it may cause electrical shock or damage to
printed circuit boards.
. The BE-28 board and the power supply unit become hot
while using the BCU-100.
Touching the BE-28 board and the power supply unit in
this state may cause burn.
Turn off the power and wait for 30 minutes until the
inside cools down before installing an option.
Installation procedure
1. Open the levers on the DIMM slot on the MEM-122
board.
2. Insert the two DIMMs of BKCU-MY8D to the DIMM
slots on the MEM-122 board until the levers on both
sides are locked.

1-5-1. Precautions for Rack Mounting
w
. To prevent the rack from falling or moving, fix the rack
on a flat and steady floor using bolts or others fixings.
If the rack falls due to the weight of the equipment, it
may cause death or injury.
. Be sure to use the specified rack mount kit.
If not, injury may result and the equipment may fall due
to insufficient strength.
. After rack mounting, be sure to tighten the screws on the
rack angle and fix the unit in the rack.
If the screws on the rack angle are not tightened, the unit
may slip from the rack and fall, causing injury.
c
When mounting the unit in the rack, note the following:
. Be sure to mount in the rack with two persons or more.
. Be careful not to catch your fingers or hands in the rack
mount rail or others.
. Mount in the rack in a stable position.

Maintenance
3-2-1. Cleaning
1. Front panel
BCU-100 is performing the air intake from the front panel
for internal air-cooling.
Therefore, the front panel can easily accumulate dust. Be
sure to remove dust by cleaning.
If dust has accumulated in the front panel, air is prevented
from flowing smoothly and this may result in a temperature rise inside the unit. This may have an adverse effect
on performance and life of this unit.
Cleaning of the fan every month is recommended.
2. Fan
The power supply unit of BCU-100 is air-cooled by a fan
on the rear panel.
If dust has accumulated in the intake of the fan, air is
prevented from flowing smoothly and this may result in a
temperature rise inside the power supply. This may have
an adverse effect on performance and life of this unit.
Cleaning of the fan every month is recommended.
Contact your local Sony Sales Office/Service Center for
information on cleaning the fan.
(1) While pushing simultaneously the release button of
right and left side, remove the front panel in the
direction of an arrow as shown below.
