Installation & Setup

Mechanical (Rack) Loading

When installing equipment in a rack, distribute the weight to avoid uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

When connecting the equipment to the supply circuits, be aware of the effect that overloading the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.

Reliable Earthing (Grounding)

Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. If not using a direct connection to the branch circuit (e.g., plugging into a power strip), pay particular attention to supply connections.

Note: We recommend attaching all power cords to surge protectors and/or AC line conditioners (see page 27). After powering up the enclosure, apply power to the source and destination devices.

Unpacking

The Octaire is shipped with one enclosure per shipping box. The invoice is sent separately; a packing list is attached to the outside of each box. Each box contains the following items:

Enclosure

2 standard US power cords (if shipped within the US) Rack ears and screws

Link cable provided with multi-enclosure systems Other enclosure products, as needed

The documentation in the first box includes:

AMX AutoPatch Octaire Quick Start Guide

AMX Octaire AutoPatch Connector Guide Custom label kit

Color rings for connectors to indicate type of video enclosure(s)

AMX AutoPatch CD

For orders comprising multiple enclosures, the shipping boxes are marked as “Chassis __ of __,” where the first blank is the box number and the second blank is the total number of boxes in the shipment.

Unpacking Tips

Before fully unpacking the enclosure(s), examine the shipping box(es) for any signs of damage. If a box is partially crushed or any sides have been broken open, notify the shipping agency immediately and contact your AMX representative (see the warranty on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at www.amx.com).

Once unpacking is complete, closely check the physical condition of the enclosure. Collect all documentation.

Note: Please save the original shipping container and packing materials. AMX is not responsible for damage caused by insufficient packing during return shipment to the factory. Shipping boxes are available; contact your AMX representative for details.
