INSTALLATION
Installation
Please refer to the safety section first before proceeding with any installation or configuration of the CrystalView DVI CATX.
When installing the CrystalView DVI CATX, locate the transmitter as close as possible to the CPU or switch. Keep the cables as short as possible but still give some freedom of movement. Using shorter cables keeps the video noise to a minimum and reduces installation costs. You can mount the CrystalView DVI CATx in a CPU rack with the optional rack mount kit. When mounting the units in a rack, follow the instructions in Appendix D and Appendix E. Provide adequate air circulation to assure that the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded.
Wherever the transmitter and receiver units are located, they should be on a secure surface and free from obstructions and objects that may cause damage to the units.
