Installation and
Operation
This section describes the installation and the operation of the MTP SW6, including:
• Mounting the MTP SW6
• Connectors and Settings
• Operation
• Optimizing the Video
Mounting the MTP SW6
The MTP SW6 can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, or mounted under a desk,
podium, or tabletop.
Tabletop Use
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the switcher. For tabletop use, attach one
foot at each corner on the bottom of the unit and place the unit in the desired location.
Rack Shelf Mounting
For rack mounting, mount the switcher using any of the following rack mounting options:
• RSU 129 9.5-inch deep 1U universal rack shelf kit (part #60-190-01) ( figure 3 )
• RSB 129 9.5-inch deep 1U basic rack shelf (part #60-604-02)
• RSU 126 6-inch deep universal rack shelf kit (part #60-190-10) ( figure 4 )
• RSB 126 6-inch deep basic rack shelf (part #60-604-11)
UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of an
MTP SW6 unit onto a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer
[Tma = +32 to +122 °F (0 to +50 °C)].
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.
