Step 3: Mount VP-4x4K
To rack mount the machine, attach both rack ears
(by removing the screws from each side of the
machine and replacing those screws through the
rack ears) or place the machine on a table.
•Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature &
air flow) is compatible for the device.
•Avoid uneven mechanical loading.
•Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.
•Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

Step 4: Connect inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-4x4K.
You can connect DVI-U to an analog (VGA, composite or component video) or digital (HDMI™or DVI) source.
