direct AC plug in unit via the supplied EIA power cord. The front and back of the unit should be
positioned so that both the installer and operator can conveniently access the front and back for
wiring and adjustments.

the Matrix rack. This holds true for the display devices as well. Simply direct connect the various
sources and displays to pretest the cable runs and equipment. The tested equipment can then be con-
nected to the Matrix rack unit. All terminations should have "ID" cable markers to aid in cabling and
troubleshooting.
