MOUNTING THE S6000
If you plan to rack mount the S6000, try to leave some ‘breathing space’ around it to prevent
overheating. It is recommended you leave 1U of rack space above and below the sampler.
If you are placing the sampler on a table, make sure that the table is sturdy and that the sampler is
not positioned precariously.
If you are using the S6000 with a hard disk device of any kind, the disk drive MUST be mounted
horizontally. If the disk drive is at an angle, even a slight one, you may have unreliability problems
and even data corruption.
If you are planning to rack mount the hard disk with the sampler, it is recommended you use the
‘padded’ type of rack mount adapter available from most manufacturers of rack and flight cases
especially if you are likely to be travelling a lot with the set-up. The padding will help protect the
disk drive’s delicate head mechanism against shock and excessive vibration.
It goes without saying that the S6000 and the disk drive are delicate pieces of precision electronics
and they don’t take kindly to being thrown around however sturdy your flight case might be!
