HCS6150R Rack Installation (also see pages
12-13)
To install the HCS6150R in a rack:
• Carefully slide the HCS6150R into a standard
19-inch equipment rack.
• When mounting in the rack, make sure to use the
appropriate hardware. ALL FOUR MOUNTING
SCREWS MUST BE USED.
• This equipment is not designed to support other
devices. Do NOT stack other equipment on the
top of the HCS6150R.
• Rear cabling must be dressed and supported so
that the weight of the cabling is not a strain on
the HCS6150R connectors.
• MOUNTING OF THE EQUIPMENT IN THE
RACK SHOULD BE SUCH THAT A HAZARDOUS
CONDITION IS NOT ACHIEVED DUE TO
UNEVEN MECHANICAL LOADING.
Rack-mount Considerations
A. Elevated Operating Ambient
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment com-
patible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer (see
Specifications information in this document).
B. Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be
such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
To ventilate the system normally and avoid over-
heating, leave at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) on each
side of the HCS6150R unit. Do NOT stack other
equipment on the top of the HCS6150R unit.
C. Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection
of the equipment to the supply circuit and the
effect that overloading of the circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
D. Reliable Earthing
Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment. Particular attention should be given
to supply connections other than direct connec-
tions to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power
strips).
E. Mains Outlet Earthing
The apparatus with Class I construction must be
connected to a mains socket outlet with a pro-
tective earthing connection.
HCS6150R Installation on a Flat Surface
To install the HCS6150R on a level surface (table
top, shelf, etc.):
• Install the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum operating ambient temperature
(Tma) specied by the manufacturer (see
Specications information in this document).
• P lace spacers or rubber feet (not provided) on the
bottom of the HCS6150R.
• Carefully place the HCS6150R on the level
surface.
• Air ow is from bottom to top (when viewed from
the front). To ventilate the system normally and
avoid overheating, leave at least 1 inch (2.5 cm)
on each side of the HCS6150R unit. Do NOT
stack other equipment on the top of the
HCS6150R.

Equipment Setup Review
• Make sure all connectors and connections are tight and secure on all entertainment system
components.
• Check to make sure each device supplying the signal to a transcoder card is functioning
properly.
• Check the CodePlus transcoder card(s) plugged into the HCS6150R. With AC power
applied, you should see LED activity on each card.
• Make sure the HCS6150R fan is working and fan cooling vents are unobstructed. Check
the exit vent area adjacent to the AC power connector on the back panel of the card frame.
With AC power applied, there should be a strong airstream from the vent area.
For troubleshooting information, refer to the Installation & Setup Guide for the individual
transcoder(s).
