Mounting the Unit
ATTENTION:
The 1U high, half-rack width unit can be placed on a tabletop or mounted on a rack shelf, or
under or through a desk or other furniture.
Tabletop Use
Affix the included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient
location.
Mounting kits
Mount the unit using any compatible rack or furniture mounting kit, listed on the Extron
website (www.extron.com), in accordance with the directions included with the kit. For

Rack-Mounting UL Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the
FOX SW8 into a rack.
•
•
•
•
•
Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with
the +122 °F (+50 °C) maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by Extron.
Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
