S-4000 Digital Snake Owner’s Manual 41
Installation Notes
S-4000S and S-4000H
The S-4000S and S-4000H can be used in a free standing configuration, or rack-mounted using the
installed rack-mount brackets.
Whatever method you choose, be sure to provide adequate air flow around the units, and be sure
not to block the intake and exhaust vents. Failure to do so will result in the units overheating, causing
automatic shutdown and possible damage.
For the location of the intake and exhaust vents, see Chapter 4, Panel Descriptions.
Using the AC Cord Clamp
The S-4000 and S-4000H units have AC cord clamps to prevent the cord from being pulled out
accidentally.
Recessed Rack-Mounting
If desired, the rack-mount brackets on the S-4000S and S-4000H units can be reinstalled so that the
units’ face plates are recessed when mounted in a rack. This can be useful for protecting the front panel
connections in high-traffic installations, as the connectors plugged into the various inputs and outputs
will not protrude from the face of the rack.
Reinstall the rack-mount brackets only in the configurations shown. Attempting to reinstall
the rack-mount brackets in a different configuration will not provide enough support for rack-
mounting, and may result in damage to the units.
