Ventilation
To minimize heat buildup and improve module reliability, maintain a blank rack space both above
and below each installed chassis.

Power Supply PS-7813
The AFR-7814C frames uses a single 20 volt PS-7813 power supply. Turning the power supply
off before inserting or removing it from the frame will ensure longer connector life.
Audio Input and Output Cables
The frame uses a three-pin, pluggable audio connector. This connector allows each individual
audio input and output connection to be wired prior to connection to the frame.
Use the following procedure to wire your audio input and output cables:
1. Wire the external cables to the pluggable terminal block connectors as outlined in
Figure 1.3 . Note that standard practice dictates that to avoid ground loop problems,
cable grounds should be connected to output plugs only.
2. Once the cables are wired, install the connectors according to Figure 1.4 . The frame’s
mating terminals are marked for both the 8-output mono and the 4-output stereo
amplifiers.
This completes the procedure for wiring your audio input and output cables.
