Mounting instructions

The FOX 4G Matrix 14400 matrix switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 9U high
metal enclosure with mounting flanges for standard 19" racks. If desired, rack
mount the switcher as follows:

2-2 FOX 4G Matrix 14400 Switcher • Installation
Familiarize yourself with the Matrix 14400 switcher.
Obtain IP setting information for the Matrix 14400 from the local network
administrator. Read Appendix A, "Ethernet Connection".
Install the desired I/O boards (page 6-4).
If desired, install the switcher in a rack (below).
Cable input and output devices to the I/O ports (page 2-5).
Connect computers and/or control systems to the serial ports and/or LAN
port (page 2-6, page 2-7, and page 2-9).
Connect power (page 2-8).
Test the switcher by creating a tie (page 3-9).
Install the Windows-based control/configuration program (page 4-2).
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment 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 Matrix 14400 in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and
consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-
mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Insert the switcher into the rack, aligning the holes in the mounting bracket
with those in the rack.
Secure the switcher to the rack using the supplied bolts.
