Mounting the EDID 101
The EDID 101 is housed in a 1/8 rack width, 3" deep, 1" high
metal enclosure. The small form factor is ideal for connecting
the EDID 101 between two devices that would otherwise be
directly connected.
N After the EDID 101 is mounted, the side panel may be
inconvenient or impossible to access for configuration. To
avoid uninstalling, program it prior to mounting.
See page 10, "EDID 101D/EDID 101V Operation" for
programming details.
Tabletop placement
Attach the four included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit
and place it in any convenient location.
Rack mounting
UL guidelines for rack mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are
relevant to the safe installation of the EDID 101 in a rack:
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit
is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
install the equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 ° C)
specied by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so
the equipment gets adequate air ow for safe operation.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack
so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a
hazardous condition.
4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to
the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit
overloading might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the
equipment nameplate ratings.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable
grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular
attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (such as power strips).
