Physical Installation
Planning the Installation
Ventilation and Clearance
Use the following guidelines when installing system components to ensure
proper clearance and ventilation. These guidelines apply to all installations
including rack mounting. (Rack-mount hardware sold separately.)
1.
Mount components in a location with adequate ventilation.
2.
Check for proper grounding if installing components in a rack.
3.
Maintain a 2 in. (5 cm) clearance in back and a 1 in. (2.5 cm) clearance
in front and on the sides.
Power Requirements
Kaleidescape component power supplies are universal input and operate on
any nominal line voltage between 100–240 V, and frequency between 50–60
Hz. Verify that power outlets are grounded, preferably shielded from power
surges and brownouts.
Kaleidescape recommends a grounded outlet with a high-quality surge protector
for the power source for players and servers. A UPS is optional.
Network Requirements
A Gigabit Ethernet network is recommended, and is required when Strato is
used with any other Kaleidescape components. Connect Strato using a
shielded Ethernet cable. The built-in Wi-Fi may be used when Strato is used as
a single-component standalone system.
Audio and Video components
Before beginning the installation, determine the type of the display and
audio equipment that will connect to your Strato.
