Unpacking the MC2301
Caution
: To prevent damage to the MC2301
Tubes during shipping, there is a spe-
cial foam insert surrounding the Tubes
located on both sides of the Power Am-
plifier.
BOTH Foam Inserts must be re-
moved from the MC2301 before
connecting the AC Power Sup-
ply Cord to the power amplifier.
Failure to do so has the poten-
tial of a Fire Hazard, resulting
in damage to the MC2301 and
the surrounding environment.
Follow the instructions below
for removal of the packing foam
before connecting the AC Power
Supply Cord to the MC2301.
In order to remove the foam inserts surround-
ing the tubes on the MC2301, it is necessary to
temporarily remove the two Tube Covers. After
the foam inserts are removed, the Tube Covers are
re-installed and should not be removed. The cov-
ers provide protection from the hazardous voltages
inside the MC2301. The MC2301 has no user ser-
viceable parts, including the tubes. If repairs are
needed they must be performed by an authorized
McIntosh Service Agency.
1. Orient the MC2301 so the Front Panel is facing you
and remove the Warning Sheet. Refer to figure 1.
2. Using a Philips Head #2 screw driver, remove the two
chassis screws securing the Tube Cover to the chassis
on both sides of the MC2301. Refer to figure 2.
3. Carefully lift up and remove the Tube Cover from each
side of the MC2301. Refer to figure 3.
4. Place the Tube Covers and the previously removed
chassis screws in a safe location, as the Tube Covers
will be reinstalled.
5. Carefully lift up and remove the Foam Insert from
both sides the MC2301 exposing the Tubes. Refer to
figures 4 and 5.

Note: Only use the chassis screws supplied with the
MC2301. If you can not find the chassis screws,
contact the McIntosh Parts Department for replace-
ments.
