Rack mounting

UL requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the FOX 500 DA6 into a rack (figure 2-1).

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

2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits 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) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Mounting instructions

Rack mount the DA as follows:

1.

Attach the rack mounting brackets to the DA with the

 

supplied eight #8 machine screws (figure 2-1).

Furniture mounting the DA

Mount the DA under a table or other horizontal surface with an optional Extron MBU 149 1U full rack under-desk mounting kit (part #70-222-01) as follows:

1.

Secure the two table/wall mounting brackets to the

 

unit with the eight machine screws provided in the kit

 

(figure 2-1).

2.

Hold the unit with attached brackets against the underside

 

of the desk or other furniture. Mark the location of holes

 

for screws on the underside of the desk.

3.

Drill 1/4" (6.4 mm) deep, 3/32" (2 mm) diameter pilot

 

holes in the table or desk at the marked screw locations

 

from the underside or inside (concealed side) of the

 

furniture, where the DA will be located.

4.

Insert the four wood screws into the pilot holes. Fasten

 

each screw into the installation surface until just less than

 

1/4" of the screw head protrudes.
