RACK MOUNTING
CAUTION!!
It is recommended that you first rack mount the MAXX 6T before installing the drives. This will
reduce the weight significantly and simplify the mounting process.
Refer to instructions packaged with the Rack Mount Hardware Kit for specific installation
information.
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 6T 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 6T 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 6T should be supported by the rack mounting rails. Do not
support substantial cable weight from the MAXX 6T.
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 6T – this process requires at least two people unless an adjustable lift is
available. Slide the MAXX 6T 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 6T into the rack using #10 flat-head
Phillips screws (provided in North America). Retract the front panel. Tighten the front panel access
screws.
Mounting the Audio and Control ( ACX ) Module
The supplied ACX module may also be rack mounted in a Standard 1-RU space above or below the
MAXX 6T. Four elongated screw holes are provided to facilitate rack mounting of the ACX Module.
The ACX module is connected to the MAXX 6T 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 ACX
connector on the rear panel of the MAXX 6T. Refer to Figure 2 on Page 17.
