Mounting the Switcher

The MTP SW6 can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, or
mounted under a desk, podium, or tabletop.

Tabletop use

Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the switcher.
For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner of the bottom
side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location.

Rack shelf mounting

For optional rack mounting, mount the switcher using any of
the following rack mounting options:

UL guidelines
ThefollowingUnderwritersLaboratories(UL)requirements
pertain to the installation of the switcher into or onto a rack.
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)specied
byExtron.
2. Reduced air flow—Installationoftheequipmentinarack
shouldbesuchthattheamountofairow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).
