6 Precautions
Before connecting to external devices, follow the precautions below.
6.1 Installation
When installing the ICP, please observe the following precautions.
・Do not block vent holes. To provide adequate ventilation, maintain sufficient clearances around the ICP
(1.2 in. (30 mm) or more).
・When the ICP needs to be mounted in an EIA rack, or an enclosed space, ensure that sufficient
ventilation or cooling is provided and that the ambient temperature will not exceed 104°F (40°C).
If inadequately vented, the product’s service life, operation and reliability may be affected.
■Attaching rack mounting brackets
Attach the rack mounting brackets to the ICP chassis using the supplied M4 screws.
[Fig. 6.1] Attaching rack mounting brackets
Note:
The standard screw tightening torque is 1.47 N･m (about 15.0 kgf･cm).

ICP-401UHD User Guide

6.2 Cabling
When connecting the ICP to external devices, please observe the following precautions.
・Read manuals for the external devices.
・Before you connecting cables to the ICP or an external device, dissipate static electricity by touching
grounded metal such as racks before handling signal cables. Failure to observe this precaution may
result in ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage.
・Power all units off before connecting cables.
・Be sure to fully seat all plugs and connections and dress cables to reduce stress on connectors.
・Secure HDMI cables using cable clamps to prevent connectors from being accidently pulled out of
ports.

6.2.1 Cables
Use the correct HDMI cable or HDMI-DVI conversion cable depending on the system configuration.
For 4K format video, the maximum TMDS data rate (transmission speed) is 18 Gbps. If a high-speed HDMI
cable that supports up to 10.2 Gbps rate is used, video cannot be displayed stably. Select an appropriate
18 Gbps high-speed cable depending on the 4K format.
The maximum distance may change depending on cable type and characteristics of source and sink devices.
