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.

3-2. Periodic Inspection and
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.
