Installation

The MI254 needs to be placed upright on its four feet. 

It also can be custom installed. Remove the four feet 

when it is custom installed and retain them with the 

fastening screws for possible future use. The required 

panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions 

are shown in the drawing on the right side of this 

page.

It is necessary to provide adequate ventilation for 

cool operation, ensuring long life for the MI254. Do 

not install the MI254 above heat generating compo-

nents. When the MI254 is installed in a cabinet with 

other components, use a ventilation fan to provide cool 

operating temperature.

A custom cabinet installation needs to provide the 

following minimum spacing for cool operation:

Allow at least 3 inches (7.6cm) above the top, 

2 inches (5.08cm) below the bottom, 3 inches 

(7.62cm) behind the rear panel and 2 inches 

(5.08cm) on each side of the MI254, providing 

airflow. Allow 2-1/2 inches (6.35 cm) in front of the 

mounting

1

 panel for clearance. Be sure to cut out a 

ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to 

the dimensions in the drawing.

 When the MI254 is installed together with other 

McIntosh Components, check clearances on all 

components before proceeding.
