SPECTRALIS
2.2 Preparations
2.2.1 Unpacking
You should find the following contents in your shipping box:
- Spectralis
- the power-cord
- 1 USB-cable
- this quick guide manual
- a backup CD-Rom with the current patterns and samples/factory presets.
Please contact your retailer right away if any of the above items are missing. You may
also contact Radikal Technologies Deutschland GmbH (j.schaaf@raditec.de). If you
do notice any physical damage to the Spectralis after shipping, please immediately
contact the shipping company with your complaint. We will be happy to assist you
with further documentation if needed.
2.2.2 Set-Up
Place the Spectralis on a level, clean and sufficiently spacious surface or a suitable
Keyboard stand. Make sure that there is no obstruction to the ventilation slots. Avoid
operating the Spectralis close to technical equipment which generates heat.
In case you wish to install the Spectralis in a 19” rack you can order the optional
rack-ears available at your retailer or directly from Radikal Technologies. The
Spectralis will take up 5 rack spaces plus a little extra head-room room for the
cables connected to it. Make sure to follow the instructions described in the rack-
setup instructions.
2.2.3 Firmware update
We currently are working full steam on adding more and more features to the Spectralis
firmware. For this reason we advise you to update your Spectralis whenever new
firmware versions are announced. To check for and obtain the latest versions you
can visit the user-forum of the Spectralis website http://www.spectralis.de/phpBB2.
In the section ”updates” you can easily download the latest versions - free of charge
of course. There are usually detailed descriptions available of the new features or
differences to previous releases. Please take time to read the information provided
for the respective firmware expansions or updates. The update process is rather
simple. However, it is definitely recommended to read the update Info on the website
first and to follow the instructions carefully to ensure a successful upgrade process.
At the time of the initial Spectralis shipouts some parts of the firmware were not fully
completed or only implemented in a temporary pre-release version.
