RACK MOUNTING
CAUTION!!
It is recommended that you first rack mount the MAXX 2400 before installing the drives. This will
reduce the weight significantly and simplify the mounting process.
Note: If you plan to use digital audio, be sure to change the configuration of the Analog/Digital
Audio Jumpers inside the unit before mounting the MAXX 2400 in a rack. The jumpers are factory
set to the Analog audio position. For more information about changing the jumpers, see
APPENDIX A – SETTING THE AUDIO JUMPERS FOR ANALOG/DIGITAL.
In North America, the MAXX 2400 will usually be mounted in a 19” rack enclosure having 10-24
or 10-32 tapped holes. In countries with metric standards, the user will need to supply appropriate
fasteners.
Cables attached to the rear of the MAXX 2400 should be supported by the rack mounting rails. Do
not support substantial cable weight from the MAXX 2400.
Install the included rack mount slide rails in the rack. They must be securely mounted at both the
front and back of the rack. Extend the slides in the slide rails. Carefully mate them with the rails on
the sides of the MAXX 2400 – this process requires at least two people unless an adjustable lift is
available. Slide the MAXX 2400 into the rack.
Deploy the front panel to expose the rack screw slots. Unscrew the knurled fasteners and pull
forward and down to deploy the front panel. Fasten the MAXX 2400 into the rack using
appropriate flat-head screws (#10 Phillips screws provided in North America). Retract the front
panel. Tighten the front panel access screws.
Mounting the Audio Module ( AXP1 )
The supplied AXP1 module may also be rack mounted in a Standard 1-RU space above or below
the MAXX 2400, on the front or rear of the rack. Four elongated screw holes are provided to
facilitate rack mounting of the AXP1 Module. The AXP1 module is connected to the MAXX 2400
using the supplied 68 Pin cable. Connect one end of the cable to the mating connector on the rear
of the ACX Module. Connect the other end to the AXP1 connector on the rear panel of the MAXX
2400 . Refer to Figure 4 on page 20 for information about connecting audio signals to the AXP1
Module.
Mounting the Control Module ( CXP )
The supplied CXP module may also be rack mounted in a Standard 1-RU space above or below the
MAXX 2400, on the front or rear of the rack. Four elongated screw holes are provided to facilitate
rack mounting of the CXP Module. The CXP module is connected to the MAXX 2400 using the
supplied 68 Pin cable. Connect one end of the cable to the mating connector on the rear of the
CXP Module. Connect the other end to the CXP connector on the rear panel of the MAXX 2400.
Refer to Figure 6 on page 23 for information about connecting GPI and automation signals to the
CXP Module.
