NOTE: When transporting, amplifiers should be supported at both front and back.
When using an equipment rack, mount units directly on top of each other. Close any open spaces in the rack with blank panels. DO NOT block front, top or side air vents.
The side walls of the rack should be a minimum of two inches (5.1 cm) away from the amplifier sides, and the back of the rack should be a minimum of four inches (10.2 cm) from the amplifier back panel.
