Recommended placement
for the HD135 |
|
|   |
Placement of this system on a well-ventilated
area (good intake of cold air and release of hot
air) allows efficient cooling of computer components
even in low RPM mode, which is the quietest operation.
The noise level of the power supply (main factor
of noise emission) will also significantly decrease
due to better cooling efficiency.
There must be good airflow on the front and back
side of the HD135 when placing it inside a cabinet.
Any other AV components or products must not be
placed on top of the HD135. |
|   |
  |
 |
Management of the
system's internal cables |
|
|   |
The internal airflow of the system makes a significant
impact on the cooling of the computer components.
Even though the ergonomic design of the case itself
is very important, tying all the cables in a neat
manner is the best method for creating great internal
airflow. Pay special attention to make sure that
the air vents, and intake and exhaust fans are not
blocked by the cables. |
|   |
  |
 |
Fan speed control
with MEPlay fan control |
|
|   |
Cooling performance and noise level can be set
to user preference by controlling the fan speed
in MEPlay's A.F.C mode. Use the Temperature Sensor
and the MEPlay Fan Control to maintain the internal
temperature of the unit to be no greater than 40. |
