A Note About Wall and Rack Installation

Some products are installed in areas of differing temperature and cooling methodologies. These include products installed in walls,
racks, cabinets, etc. Those areas may have different temperatures and/or cooling approaches that must be taken into consideration
to maintain the product within the specified operating temperature.
FIG. 12 shows an AMX device installed in a wall with a filled volume (such as with insulation or concrete), as well as with a closed
volume (such as between studs in an otherwise finished wall). The diagram shows how heat generated by the device or other
devices may have no way to escape, and may build up to levels that may affect device operation.

In FIG. 13, the diagram displays an AMX device in a typical rack mounting, with full air circulation around the front and back of the
device. In this case, the main concern is with heat building up between components, possibly to levels that may affect device
operation.

Installation Recommendations

During any installation, a lack of ventilation may produce conditions that may adversely affect the device's operation. In these
circumstances, special care must be made to make sure that temperatures within enclosed areas do not exceed the device's
maximum rated temperature.
NOTE: While the outside temperature of the device may be at or below its maximum operating temperature, special care must be
taken before and during installation to ensure that the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded within wall or rack
installation spaces.
