case to the shelf.
3. If desired, attach a false front panel, or a second half-rack-
width device to the other side of the shelf.
4. Attach the rack shelf to the rack using four 10-32 x ¾" bolts
and four #10 beveled dress washers.

Under-desk mounting

Mount the unit to a desk or podium using the optional mounting
kit (Extron part #70-212-01) as follows:
1. If rubber feet were previously installed on the bottom of the
unit, remove them.
2. Attach the mounting brackets to the switcher with the
machine screws provided (figure 2-2).
3. Hold the unit with the brackets attached against the
underside of the table or other furniture. Mark the location
of the screw holes of the bracket on the mounting surface.
