Smart Media Console Installation Manual
Mounting and Ventilation
The SMC can be installed as a set-top box or mounted in either a standard EIA/
TIA 19" rack� In both instances, at least four (4) inches of clearance in the front
and rear of the unit must be provided for proper air circulation (see Important
Safety Information in Ch�1)�
Rack Mounting in Equipment Rack or Closet
The unit can be rack mounted in any standard AV rack� Mounting instructions
accompany the rack ears, which can be purchased separately� Proper spacing
and ventilation as noted above should be maintained�
Shelf Mounting in Equipment Rack/Closet/Entertainment Center
Place the SMC on a shelf or horizontal surface and ensure adequate clearance
at the front and back for proper ventilation� Ensure clear access to the rear panel
for cabling and power connections�
Environmental Conditions
The SMC can be safely operated in environments that conform to these
requirements:
•
Operating Room Temperature – 45 °F (7°C) to 75°F (24°C)
•
Humidity – 10% to 90% (non-condensing)
Remote Control Considerations
When rack mounting (or "remoting") an SMC, you must take use of the remote
into consideration� Multiple options for remote functionality include, but are not
limited to:
•
Running an IR control cable from the SMC to an IR receiver in the room with
the component being used (refer to Ch� 10 Connecting IR Devices)�
•
Using an RF remote (assuming the RF receiver is within the supported
range)
•
Using a WiFi, Z-wave, ZigBee, or other wireless, programmable remote
•
Using an IR/Ethernet device such as a Global Cache GC-100 or Life|link
More details on selecting the best solution for a remoted Media Center are
provided during Life|ware certification training.
