Appendix D: Rack Ear installation instructions

The optional Rack Ear Kit allows the Onyx 820i mixer to be mounted in a standard 19” rack. It will be out of harm’s way and the band may continue tearin’ it up without fearing any consequences. The mixer takes up nine rack spaces. Be sure to allow for an extra space or two above to make connections. The kit contains two rack ear brackets and eight black screws (M3.5 x 8mm).

3.Remove the eight silver screws as shown below, wrap them up in an old sock, and keep them in a safe place for further use.

4.Using only the new screws supplied, secure the rack ear brackets to each side of the mixer as shown. Hand-tighten the screws securely. The brackets are identical, so it does not matter which one goes on which side.

Tools Required:

One phillips screwdriver, two bales of hay, cheese and crackers, and a box of wine (optional).

5.Offer up the mixer to the rack and secure it in place with four rack screws (not supplied). Remember to leave enough room at the top to attach the AC power cord and any other con- nections needed.

Procedure:

1.Turn off the mixer and disconnect all cords.

2.Place the mixer face up on a soft and dry flat surface.

6.This might be a good time to sit on one of the bales of hay and enjoy the cheese, crackers, and boxed wine!

7.Cross this off the ‘to do’ list and move on to the next project.
