(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 the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-551X. For best results, we recommend that you
always use Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to the VP-551X.
