Usage recommendations

Place the system equipment in a clean, secure environment to protect hardware and sensitive data, and route cables to avoid interference. For best video performance, use quality DVI cables and ensure the total cable run does not exceed specified limits. If serial devices are used, confirm correct RS-232 settings for baud rate and parity to match connected equipment.
