Chapter 2 Installation This chapter covers the physical connections necessary to operate the DP564.
2.1 Mounting
The DP564 occupies 2U of rack space. The unit operates at ambient temperatures up
to 122° F (50° C) and vents from front to rear.
Caution: Do not mount the DP564 directly above heat-generating equipment.
Ensure adequate ventilation. The temperature inside a poorly ventilated
rack can be considerably higher than ambient room temperature.
2.2 Rear-Panel Connections
The rear-panel connections include BNC inputs and outputs, an optical input, serial
ports, analog audio outputs, and the power supply. It is best to make all other
connections before connecting the power supply.
2.2.1 BNC Connectors
Figure 2-1 shows the BNC connectors. These are compliant with the AES3-ID
standard.
