Unpacking

There are no special unpacking precautions. However, it is recommended you keep the original packing material for reuse in the rare event that service be required. If service is required and the original packing material is not available, ensure that the unit is adequately protected for shipment (strong box of appropriate size, sufficient packing material to prevent load-shifting or impact damage) or call QSC’s Technical Services Department for packing material and a carton.

Mounting

The RAVE 522aa can be used in or out of an equipment rack. Rack mounting is optional. Adhesive rubber feet are included for non-rack mount installations. Use them to prevent the unit from scratching or marring support surfaces.

Rack Mounting

Rack mount the RAVE 522aa by supporting it from underneath while aligning the mounting holes with the threaded screw holes in the rails; install all four mounting screws and washers and tighten securely. Ensure use of all four mounting screws in order to minimize the chance of bending or distorting the rack mount ears. If the RAVE 522aa is to be transported while in a rack, we recommend supporting the rear of the chassis. This will help prevent the unit from being damaged from the increased mechanical stresses of portable and mobile use. The RAVE 522aa’s chassis includes integral rear mounting tabs for securing to the rack mounting ears.

Be certain not to block the cooling air ventila- tion openings on the sides of the chassis.
