Mounting Options -Standard Rack Installation

The matrix can be mounted in several ways by the supplied two rack ears. Allen head screws fix them to the

housing.

ATTENTION!

M4x10 size is the longest allowed screw for fixing the ears to the housing. A longer screw

may touch internal parts.

Two rack ears are supplied with the product, which are fixed on left and right side as shown in the picture.

The default position allows mounting the device as a standard rack unit installation.

Standard rack installation

ATTENTION!

Always use all the four screws for fixing the rack shelf ears to the rack rail. Choose properly

sized screws for mounting. Keep minimum two threads left after the nut screw.

Mounting the device to the rack rail

INFO: The matrix switcher is one rack wide and 2U high.

WARNING! Never block the ventilation holes on any side of the matrix! Ensure the proper ventilation by

letting the free airflow.
