Location and Mounting
The Unity 550 is sized at 1RU, and may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or set up for
desktop operation. In either location, maintain a clean, dry environment for the Unity 550 .
Rack Mounting
The Unity 550 unit should be installed in such a way that a half-inch clearance is allowed on each side
and a quarter-inch on the top to ensure adequate air flow. Ensure that a hazardous condition is not
produced by uneven loading, or by resting any unsupported equipment on a rack-mounted
Unity 550
unit.
Parts for the Unity 550 unit include 2 angle rack mount brackets and 4 rubber feet. For rack mounting,
do not attach the rubber feet as they interfere with the rack mounting.
1. Remove the 2 screws from the left and right sides of the unit.
2. Insert the angle brackets into the left and right sides of the unit ensuring that the screw holes for
the unit and brackets are aligned.
3. Secure the brackets by re-inserting the screws through the brackets and unit.
4. Install the unit onto the rack.
NOTE: The front brackets must be secured to the rack. If the front brackets are left unsecured, the unit
may shift forward and fall from the rack, and may result in personal injury and/or damage to the
equipment. The internal temperature of the rack should not exceed 40
o C.
Desktop Installation
Parts for the Unity 550 unit include 2 angle rack mount brackets and 4 rubber feet. For desktop
installation, do not attach the brackets.
1. Attach the 4 rubber feet onto the indented areas at the bottom of the unit.
2. Place the unit on a flat surface where it will not be subject to spills or impacts.
3. Route cables to the unit so that they will not be hit or pulled, causing damage to the connectors
or to the unit itself. Ensure a sufficient flow of cool air so that the unit's operating ambient
temperature range is not exceeded.
Circuit Protection and Earthing
When connecting the Unity 550 unit to the power supply, review the ratings of all equipment in the
circuit to ensure that the branch circuit, as well as the power source, will not be overloaded. Also make
sure that the unit is properly grounded and/or that a protected power strip is used to attach it to the
power supply.
WARNING: FCC-Mandated Suppression of Radio Frequency Emissions
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference for which the user may need to take mitigating action.
If the Ethernet port has a cable connected to it, that cable must be properly shielded
and grounded to minimize RF emissions that could interfere with nearby equipment.
