Mounting
There are two types of mounting configurations for the VN-VIEWER-64PC, either desktop or rack.
Desktop
The desk or table must provide a surface of suitable strength for the VN-VIEWER-64PC's weight of 22 lb
(10 kg). In addition, there must be area left around the cabinet to provide suitable airflow for cooling. Do not
place heavy items on the cover.
Rack
The VN-VIEWER-64PC-R was designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch (483 mm) wide vertical rack.
Use the provided rack mount ears to connect the VN-VIEWER-64PC-R to the rack using hardware provided
with the rack.
It is recommended that at least 1 RU of space [1.75 in. (44.45 mm)] be left in between multiple recorders
mounted in the same rack for cooling purposes.
WARNING: Failure to leave space for cooling between recorders may result in malfunctioning and
possible failure of the VN-VIEWER-64PC.
Installing the VN-VIEWER-64PC
After the VN-VIEWER-64PC is mounted permanently, follow the steps in this section to install the
VN-VIEWER-64PC unit hardware.
• Step 1: Connecting the Hardware
• Step 2: Connecting the Uninterruptible Power Supply
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The connection of external hardware may require simple hand tools. Do not apply power or plug-in the VN-
VIEWER-64PC to any outlet until instructed to do so.
Disable the AC power to prevent installer injury and damage to the unit.
Before beginning the hardware installation, ensure that the following environmental conditions have been met:
• The surface on which the VN-VIEWER-64PC hardware is to be placed must be level.
• The room or area designated for the VN-VIEWER-64PC hardware installation must be well ventilated.

Perform the following connections: (refer to the pictures of the front panel and the rear panel as needed).
• Locate the keyboard on a flat surface near the VN-VIEWER-64PC. Connect the keyboard by inserting
its connector into the correct port.
• Locate the mouse on a flat surface near the VN-VIEWER-64PC. Connect the mouse by inserting its
connector into the correct port.
• Position the monitor(s) in a permanent fixed location near the VN-VIEWER-64PC. Connect the
monitor(s) by inserting its VGA connector into one of the VGA connectors from the Display Card port.

receptacle. Do not connect the remaining end to a power receptacle until instructed. If using 230 VAC
power, it is necessary to obtain a suitable power cord for use. This cable is a standard computer
230 VAC power cord.
• Turn ON the power switch.
Connect the monitor to the power source and switch on.
Step 2: Connecting the Uninterruptible Power Supply
To ensure that the VN-VIEWER-64PC is protected during a power failure and that no important data is lost, it
must be connected to an uninterruptible power source (UPS) before use.
