As a result, the AOM connected to USB port 2 will switch from providing audio 
output/zones 5-8 to providing audio output/zones 1-4, the next time the server is

Mounting the MAX-AOM

Note

: Static electricity can damage electronic circuitry. Before mounting the AOM(s), 

discharge any accumulated static electricity from your body and screwdriver by 
touching a grounded metal object.

The MAX-AOM includes hardware for mounting the unit in a standard 19” equipment 
rack. A single AOM takes up one-half of the width of a single rack unit, so you can 
mount two AOMs side by side in a single RU by using the (optional) AOM-EX 
Expansion Kit (FG 2178-56). Refer to the next page for details.

Using the AOM-EX Expansion Kit 

The optional AOM-EX Expansion Kit (

FG 2178-56

) includes a MAX-AOM, a Side 

Mounting Bracket, Short Rack-Mounting Bracket, and mounting hardware (FIG. 2). 
Use the Expansion Kit to mount a second AOM next to the first one, in a single rack 
space.

The 

Side Mounting Bracket

 uses a set of six screws to connect to bracket to the side 

panel of AOM #1. The bracket features tabs to ensure proper positioning and 
alignment of the two AOMs, and four screws (two on the front and two on the rear) to 
secure the AOM #1/side bracket assembly to AOM #2. 

The 

Short Rack-Mounting Bracket

 uses three screws to attach to the AOM #2 

enclosure, and two screws to secure the left side of the MAX-AOM-EX assembly to 
the equipment rack.
