Getting Started
This chapter describes how to install the VT5900-SA and what to consider when unpacking the
unit for the first time. The VT5900-SA can be set up as either a desktop or rack installation and
connected to various types of devices.
Before physically installing the VT5900-SA, consider carefully the location for the unit
installation, the intended use of the unit, and the type of devices to which the unit will be attached.
Location
The VT5900-SA can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a standard 19-inch rack depending on
the specific requirements of the installation.
The operating environment should meet the requirements found in “Physical Specifications”. If
you plan to use the VT5900-SA on a table top, attach the stick-on feet to the bottom of the unit.
Unpacking the Box
Unpack the shipping container of the VT5900-SA in an area clear of any clutter using the
following instructions:
1. Remove all items from the shipping container. Check each item for any damage. Keep the
VT5900-SA in the protective bag until you are ready to install it.
2. Make sure you received all the equipment you ordered. If an item appears missing, contact
your sales representative immediately.
Note: Read this chapter carefully and completely before working with the VT5900-SA.
Caution: When installing the VT5900-SA, use only the screws and other hardware provided in
the shipping container for the VT5900-SA. Using alternate hardware may cause damage to the
unit.
Note: The VT5900-SA has cooling fans mounted inside of the enclosure and air exhaust vents on
the front of the enclosure. The rear intake vents and the front exhaust vents should remain clear
of obstructions to ensure proper airflow.
