Mounting the Switcher

Four uninstalled rubber feet are included with the seamless switcher. If you are going to rack mount the switcher, mount it before you cable it (see “Rack mounting”, below), and do not install the rubber feet. If you are not rack mounting the seamless switcher, see “Tabletop placement”, below.

Tabletop placement

For tabletop placement, install the self-adhesive rubber feet/pads (provided) onto the four corners of the bottom of the seamless switcher.

Rack mounting

UL guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the ISS 506 into a rack (figure 2-1).

1.Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the ISS in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.

2.Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3.Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4.Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5.Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack- mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
