Mounting guidelines
To prevent damage to your Matrox hardware, read the following guidelines before mounting your
Matrox hardware:
Mounting shelf only
– To install your mounting shelf, fasten it to the rack as per your
rack’s instructions. Head screws compatible with most rack mounts are provided.
Mounting shelf only
– The mounting shelf has existing holes for your Maevex device that
allow the shelf to be mouzwnted facing forward or backward.
Use a hand screwdriver to carefully tighten each screw. Make sure not to overtighten the
screws.
Don’t stack anything directly over the device.
Make sure the cables connected to your device are properly secured and that no tension
is applied to them.
Make sure the ambient temperature doesn’t exceed the maximum recommended
temperatures. For more information,
see “Product information”, page 31
Once your Maevex device is mounted, you can connect your system, monitors, and devices to your
device.
