Setup
The setup of the SRPM12 can be performed by following these steps:
‹ Install the Midspan on a sturdy, level surface that can support at least 6.6 lb. (3 kg) of weight. Do not
place heavy objects on the device.
‹ The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters (6 feet) of the device.
‹ Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully inserted to the AC power port.
‹ Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Midspan.
Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Midspan for ventilation
‹ Install the Midspan in a fairly cool and dry place. See the technical specifications for the acceptable
temperature and humidity operating ranges.
‹ Install the Midspan in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors),
vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
When installing the Midspan on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the device. The
rubber feet cushion the Midspan, protect the casing from scratches and prevent it from scratching other
surfaces.
Installing the Midspan on a Desktop
When installing the Midspan on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the Midspan should first
be attached (Figure 1). Attach the feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough
ventilation space between the Midspan and any other objects in the vicinity.
