Mounting the Unit
CAUTION: Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
The 1U high, half-rack width unit can be placed on a tabletop, mounted on a rack shelf, or
mounted under or through a desk or other furniture. To rack mount the FOX DA8, see the
instructions provided with the rack mounting kit (see
Optional Accessories for available
rack mount kits).
UL Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the
FOX DA8 into a rack (see figure 2).
1. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the +122 °F (+50 °C) maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
