Figure 16 — Rack mounting a switcher
Panel mount
The SW 6 AR MX HV switcher enclosure is 2.5U high and
requires a 3U-high rack panel (part number 60-141-02).
Other AR MX switchers can be mounted in a rack using
2U-high rack mount panels (#60-141-01). The following
procedure works for both panels.
To panel mount SW AR MX, SW AR MX HV, and
SW 6 Component switchers, do the following:
1.
Remove the four corner screws and beveled (dress)
washers from the front of the switcher, and set them
aside.
2.
Position the rack panel in front of the switcher, aligning
the holes on the switcher with the corresponding
holes on the panel.

Installing the Switcher
Installation overview
To install a switcher, perform the following general steps:
1
If desired, mount the switcher in a rack (see
“Mounting the switcher” below).
2
Turn off power to the input and output devices, and
unplug the power cords from them.
3
Attach the input and output devices to the switcher
(see “Cabling the switcher” on page 2-7).
4
If you are setting up the switcher in looping mode,
see “Looping” on page 2-11.
5
If you are attaching an optional or third-party remote
control device, see “Attaching remote control
devices” on page 2-14.
6
Plug the switcher, input devices, and output device
into a grounded AC source, and turn on the input
and output devices.
7
The image from the selected input device should
appear on the output device. If it does not, double-
check steps 3 through 5 and make adjustments as
needed.
Mounting the switcher
All of the switchers can be rack-mounted on a 19-inch shelf
as described below. SW AR MX, SW AR MX HV, and
SW 6 Component switchers can also be mounted in a front
panel, as described on page 2-7.
Shelf mounting
To mount the switcher on a shelf, do the following:
1.
Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the four
rubber feet from the bottom of the switcher, and
slide the feet off the screws.
2.
Place the switcher on the mounting shelf, aligning the
holes on the bottom of the switcher with the holes
on the bottom of the shelf (figure 16).
3.
Using the screws you removed in step 1, secure the
switcher to the rack shelf.
4.
Secure the rack shelf to the rack with the hardware
provided.
