Mounting the EDID 101

The EDID 101 is housed in a 1/8 rack width, 3" deep, 1" high

metal enclosure. The small form factor is ideal for connecting

the EDID 101 between two devices that would otherwise be

directly connected.

N

After the EDID 101 is mounted, the side panel may be

inconvenient or impossible to access for configuration. To

avoid uninstalling, program it prior to mounting.

See page 10,

"EDID 101D/EDID 101V Operation" for

programming details.

Tabletop placement

Attach the four included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit

and place it in any convenient location.

Rack mounting

UL guidelines for rack mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are

relevant to the safe installation of the EDID 101 in a rack:
1

.

Elevated operating ambient temperature —

If the unit

is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the

operating ambient temperature of the rack environment

may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,

install the equipment in an environment compatible with

the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 ° C)

specified by Extron.

2

.

Reduced air flow —

Install the equipment in the rack so

the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe operation.

3

.

Mechanical loading —

Mount the equipment in the rack

so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a

hazardous condition.

4

.

Circuit overloading —

Connect the equipment to

the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit

overloading might have on overcurrent protection and

supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the

equipment nameplate ratings.

5

.

Reliable earthing (grounding) —

Maintain reliable

grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular

attention to supply connections other than direct

connections to the branch circuit (such as power strips).
