RACK MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS

Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack

environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the

equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven

mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that

overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Grounding – Grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other

than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

TECHNICIAN NOTES

WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Toshiba should attempt to repair this DVR. All troubleshooting and repair

procedures that may be shown are for reference and minor repair only. Because of the complexity of the individual components and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. And any indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment:

• Do not disable the power grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

• Disconnect the power from the computer by unplugging the power cord either from the electrical outlet or the computer.

CAUTION: To properly ventilate your system, you must provide at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance at the front and back of the

DVR.
