Shipping Box and Packing Material
Please keep the original shipping box and all
packing material. To protect the front panel,
wait for installation completion to remove the
protection film and keep it for further repacking.
In the unlikely event you have a problem
and must return it for service, you must use
the proper packing material as the unit is not
insurable by carriers otherwise. Replacement
packing materials is available from StormAudio
for a small fee.
Installation
Prepare your installation site by following the
steps below: consult page “Rear panel” on page 4
for rear panel diagram indicating location of key
connections.
1. For models delivered with a fuse attached to
the AC cord, install the fuse before plugging
the unit into mains power.
2. Ensure your electrical circuit has a good
ground connection with all audio equipment
connected to the same ground node to avoid
noise or hum due to a ground loop.
3. Prepare all your devices (sources, projectors,
amplifiers...) and keep them all powered
down while interconnecting them to the ISP
to avoid electrical discharges and damages,
especially for HDMI interfaces.
4. Network should be running a DHCP server to
enable the ISP to obtain an IP address.
Ventilation
The ISP is a cool-running line level component.
It generates far less heat than amplifiers and
many other components. It can be safely placed
inside furniture or an equipment rack. However,
it should not be tightly enclosed. Some airflow
is desired. Note that the rear panel fan needs to
be able to circulate air especially when the ISP is
under heavy load.
Connecting to A/C Power
Plug the IEC-320 C14 end of the power cord into
the ISP, then plug the other end into an approved
and grounded A/C receptacle.
Connecting to Network
Using a CAT5e or better cable, connect the ISP
to your local area network. See “Get Network
Access” on page 7 to identify IP address.
Connect IR Interface (Optional)
Should you place the unit in a closed cabinet and
still control it through IR, you can connect an IR
receiver to the IR Input of the ISP (available from
StormAudio on demand).
