Rack Mounting

WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following
guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
NOTE: If rack mounting is not required, rubber feet are preinstalled for tabletop
mounting or stacking. Refer to “Stacking” on page 13 for details.
NOTE: 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. (e.g., use of power strips).
NOTE: There is no specific amount of clearance required between components in a
rack. However, if there are multiple amplifiers or heat-generating devices stored in a
closed rack, the amplifier should be placed below other equipment as it dissipates
heat from the bottom. Putting an open space between the components or providing
proper ventilation for the equipment in the rack can prolong the life of the amplifier.
Two “ears” are provided with the AMP3x80 so that the unit can be rack mounted.
These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to
attach the ears to the unit. The only tool required is a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
1. There are several screws (#6-32 x 0.5" L) that secure each side of the
AMP3x80 top cover. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the two
screws closest to the front panel from one side of the unit. Refer to the
diagram following step 3 for a detailed view.
