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-558.
