Unpacking:
There are no special unpacking precautions. However, it is
recommended that you keep the original packing materials
for reuse in the rare event that service is required. If service
is required and the original packing material is not available,
ensure that the unit is adequately protected for shipment
(use a strong box of appropriate size, sufficient
packing/padding material to prevent load shifting or impact
damage) or call QSC’s Technical Services Group for
replacement packing material and a carton.

Mounting:
The DCP 300 product can be used in or out of an equipment
rack. Rack mounting is optional. Adhesive rubber feet are
included for non-rack mount installations (table of shelf top

Rack mount the DCP 300 product by supporting it from

(in the rack ears) with the threaded screw holes in the rack
rails. Install all four mounting screws and washers and tighten
securely. The DCP 300 product comes with rear rack support
ears. Ensure that these rear mounting points are securely
fastened to rear rack rails or side walls.
