This guide shows you how to attach the included rack ears to the
VENUE | Stage 64 I/O rack and mount the rack into a flight case,
furniture or other rack housing. The ears can be installed on the
front or the back of the rack depending on the desired orientation.
Components
Mounting the Stage 64 utilizes the following components:
• (2) Stage 64 rack ears
• (18) Rack ear mounting screws (nine per rack ear) and
washers
• (8) Rack screws and washers (four per side)
• Flight case, furniture or other enclosure (not included)
Attaching the Rack Ears
The included rack ears can be installed on the front or the back of
the Stage 64. The front of the rack is where all the I/O connectors
are located, and the back of the rack is where the power switches
and associated AC connectors are located.
To attach the rack ears to Stage 64:
1
Locate the rack ears and the rack ear mounting screws, in-
cluded in the Stage 64 box.
2
For forward mounting, do the following:
• Position one of the rack ears at the front of the rack, making
sure it is oriented correctly for right-front or left-front loca-
tion, as appropriate.
• Insert nine rack ear screws with washers in the positions in-
dicated in the figure below, and tighten to secure the rack
ear to the rack.
• Repeat the same procedure to attach the other rack ear to the
other side of the rack using the other nine screws.
Avoid overheating. Be sure to maintain proper air ventila-
tion when installing the device in a rack, and do not block
the Stage 64 fans while operating the device.
