Installation
Table Top Installation
The M-MCR-01 is shipped with nine (9) black rubber feet for optional installation on a table or other flat, stable
surface. When installing on a table top, remove the rubber feet from the card and place them evenly spaced on
the bottom of the chassis. The M-MCR-01 must be installed in a well-ventilated area.
Rack Installation
The M-MCR-01 ships with four (4) attachment screws for installation in a standard rack.
Warning
: Take care to mount the M-MCR-01 so that it will not fall. Failure to observe this warning could result in
an injury or damage to the equipment.
Caution
: Follow the rack manufacturer’s recommendation for mounting the M-MCR-01 into the rack.
Caution
: Ensure that proper airflow around the M-MCR-01 is maintained.
Safety Instructions for Rack Mount Installations
The instructions below (or similar) are intended for rackmount installation environments:
1. Elevated Operating Ambient: if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may exceed room ambient. Install the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified.
2. Reduced Air Flow: install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is
not compromised.
3. Mechanical Loading: Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition does not occur due to
uneven mechanical loading (weight distribution/rack balance).
4. Circuit Overloading: consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider all equipment
nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable Earthing: maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment; pay particular attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
Mount One M-MCR-01 into a Rack
The M-MCR-01 is 1-1/2 U high, and you can use 2 RU to rack-mount a single chassis, or use 3 RU to rack-mount
two M-MCR-01 chassis as follows:
1. Locate four (4) screws (provided) and optional clip-nuts (not provided) for each M-MCR-01 Media Converter
Rack.
2. Carefully align the M-MCR-01 at a level position between the rack mounting rails as shown on the next page.
3. Install two (2) screws through the right front bracket and two (2) screws through the left front bracket; use the
clip nuts to secure the M-MCR-01 to the rack.
