2.2 Install Your Amplifier

CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure
your amplifier is disconnected from the
power source, with the power switch in
the "off" position and all level controls
turned completely down (counterclock-
wise).
Use a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment
rack (EIA RS-310B). See Figure 2.1 for
ampli fier dimensions.
You may also stack amps without using a
cabinet.
NOTE: When transporting, amplifiers should be
supported at both front and back.

2.3 Ensure Proper Cooling

When using an equipment rack, mount units
directly on top of each other. Close any open
spaces in rack with blank panels. DO NOT
block front or rear air vents. The back of the
rack should be open.
