2.
Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3.
Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4.
Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5.
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
Rack Mounting
The XPA 1002 series and XPA 2001 series can be mounted in a rack shelf using the
optional RSU 129 1U Universal rack shelf or the 1U Basic rack shelf, as follows.
1.
If feet were installed on the bottom of the amplifier, remove them.
2.
Place the amplifier on one half of the rack shelf.
3.
Align the front of the amplifier with the front of the shelf, and align the threaded
holes on the bottom of the amplifier with the holes in the rack shelf.
4.
Attach the amplifier to the rack shelf with the two provided 4-40 x 3/16” machine
screws.

6.
Attach the false front panel (provided with rack shelf) to the unoccupied side of the
rack (as shown above), or install a second half-rack-width device in that side by
repeating steps 1 through 5.
7.
Attach the rack shelf to the rack using four 10-32 x ¾” bolts (provided). Insert the
