Installing the iDR-8

The iDR-8and its expanders are supplied ready for 19” rack mounting. For desk top or shelf mounting remove the rack ears and fit the 4 press- in rubber feet provided. Use Torx (star head) screwdrivers.

Fit the face plate once you have configured the settings with the front panel menu system and fitted any labels required to identify the key and LED functions. The plate is packed separately. Fit this using the 4 hex screws and the 2mm Allen driver provided.

Allow adequate space behind the units for plugging in the connectors. The dimensions are shown below.

Plug the cables into their correct sockets. We recommend that you colour code or label the cables to avoid errors when replugging them in the future.

Do not obstruct the side ventilation slots. Ensure adequate air flow around the units.

Do not install the units directly above or below heat or electromagnetic generating equipment such as power supplies and amplifiers.

To avoid damage to the internal assemblies do not fit screws or drill through the case metalwork.

Do not remove the cover of the iDR unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. All configuration is carried out using the front panel menus and iDR System Manager software running on a PC
