PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
Installation of the JBL BassQ
unit is a straightforward process.
IMPORTANT:
The JBL BassQ unit must be installed
following the directions below.
Always put amplifiers on the bottom
of a stack. Heavy equipment should
not be supported solely by the front-
mounting locations.
1. The JBL BassQ unit has been
designed to be mounted in
EIA-standard racks, or stacked
freestanding. If the unit is being
mounted in a rack, it is recommended
that its feet be removed prior to
installation. If it will be stacked with
other components, use the feet that
came attached to the unit. This will
ensure that there is sufficient space
underneath so that heat can be dissi-
pated effectively. Two rack ears are
included with the JBL BassQ unit.
To install these rack ears, remove the
two machine screws on each of the
two side panels (see drawing), hold
each rack ear in place, and attach it
to the unit using the same two screws.
Make sure that these screws are
securely tightened.
2. Make sure that the unit is located
in a well-ventilated, cool area. If it
is installed inside a cabinet that is
enclosed on all sides, the front of the
cabinet must remain open to allow
sufficient flow-through ventilation
to avoid overheating.
3. With the help of another person to
guide the unit into the rack, gently
slide the JBL BassQ unit into place.
Align the rack mounting holes to the
rack ears of the equipment rack.
4. Starting with the bottom two screw
holes and using two of the rack
screws and plastic washers (if sup-
plied with your rack), secure the JBL
BassQ unit into the rack. It may be
necessary to have a helper hold up
the rear of the unit until you have
started the threads of the screws.
Once the bottom mounting screws
are installed, move to the top mount-
ing screws. Once done, check and
tighten all four screws. Always
use all four screws when mounting
any equipment.
