GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Rack Mounting
The T•231 is designed to be mounted in a standard rack. It requires two rack spaces (2U = 3.5”). It also requires 7.5” depth inside the rack, not counting the rear connectors. When designing your rack, put the heavier items at the bottom and the lighter items toward the top.
Secure the front panel of the T•231 to the front of the rack using four screws with soft washers to prevent scratching the panel.
Thermal Considerations
Avoid mounting the T•231 directly over devices that produce heat, such as power amplifiers. As with all electronic components, it is best to provide cool air circulation around the T•231 to avoid overheating. The ambient temperature should not exceed 113˚ F (45˚ C).
AC Power Considerations
Be sure the T•231 is plugged into an AC outlet that is able to supply the specified voltage, and the AC Select switch is set to the correct voltage.
Be sure the AC outlet can supply enough current to allow full power operation of all the components plugged into it, especially if there are power amplifiers plugged in. The outlet should be a
WARNING: Bypassing the plug’s safety ground pin can be dangerous. Don’t do it!
