Bogen Black Max Amplifier X600 - Manual (Page 8)

Installation
Ventilation
The Black Max amplifiers were designed to be placed on a table or rack-mounted. For rack-mounted applica-
tions, the amplifiers can be stacked one on top of the other for maximum use of the rack space available with-
out any extra, empty rack spaces between them.
An open air space of at least 4" must be provided at the front air intakes of the amplifier and the rear exhaust
must have at least 4" between itself and obstructions to ensure adequate cooling. This applies to both rack-
and table-mounted amplifiers.
Care should also be taken to ensure that the front intake air is not considerably warmer than the ambient air
temperature. Mount the amplifiers low in the rack so that heat dissipation from other equipment does not
warm the amplifier's intake air.
Rack Mounting
Rack ears are included with the amplifier to allow
mounting in 19" racks.Attach the rack ears as shown
in the Mechanical Components section. If any feet have
been attached to the bottom of the amplifier, remove
them. Load the amplifier into the rack and secure it
to the rack with appropriate hardware (not included).
Rear Rack Mounting
(Optional accessory, not included)
For greater rear support when rack mounting a Black
Max amplifier, the RPK86 Rack Mounting Kit can be
attached to the rear of the amplifier by following
these steps:
1.
Remove and save the three rear most cover
screws from the chassis side.
2. Position the rack attachment as shown.
3. Replace and tighten the three cover screws to
secure the rack attachments.
4. Repeat on opposite side of amplifier.
Table Mounting
Feet are provided with the amplifier to allow it to be
placed on a tabletop. Attach the included feet to the
bottom of the amplifier as shown. Attachment of the
rack ears to the unit is optional and purely aesthetic.
