2 Installation and Connection
Your NDX/5XS should be installed on an equipment stand intended for the purpose. Ensure
it is well ventilated, and do not stand it directly on top of another item of equipment. It
should be installed in its final location before connecting cables or switching on. The
NDX/5XS has no standby mode and is intended to be left switched on.
Connecting the NDX/5XS to mains power and to a variety of audio peripherals and
sources is described in the following paragraphs. Diagrams 2.1 and 2.3 respectively
illustrates the NDX and ND5 XS rear panel connection sockets.
Both the NDX and ND5 XS can be upgraded through the use of an Naim 555PS, XPS or
XP5 XS power supply. Connection of external power supplies is illustrated in Diagrams 2.2
and 2.4 and described in Section 2.6.
