Shipping Box and Packing Material
Please keep the original shipping box and all
packing material. 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 5
for rear panel diagram indicating location of key
connections.
1. For non North American models that are
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 attached equipment such as display
or projector, audio amplifiers, speakers,
network switch and associated cables.
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
If necessary, install the included fuse into the fuse
socket. 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.
