5.2.1. Chassis Rack Mounting and Connection
The XD20 unit is designed to integrate into your existing theater sound system without affecting normal
theater operation. All interconnects are standalone and most systems require no cuts or jumpers.
The XD20 chassis requires 2U of standard rack space for proper mounting. Select a space in the sound
rack within three feet of the cinema processor to which you are connecting.
1.
Bolt the XD20 into the selected rack space.
Caution
: Because the XD20, like any other computer-based system, can be damaged by
power line surges, we recommend using a computer-grade surge/spike suppresser.
2.
Connect the analog and logic cables/cards to your cinema sound processor. (See Appendix B for
cinema processor interface wiring diagrams and Appendix D for cable assembly diagrams,
including installation into sound racks with digital sound systems from Dolby and/or Sony.)
