Installation - McIntosh MC 7300 Manual

LOCATION
The MC 7300 may be installed in a McIntosh
cabinet or custom installed in furniture of your
choice. Always provide adequate ventilation. The
trouble-free life of an electronic instrument is greatly
extended by providing sufficient ventilation. This
prevents the build-up of high internal temperatures
that cause deterioration of circuit components. Allow
enough clearance so cool air can enter at the bottom
of the cabinet and be vented from the top. Allow at
least 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) above the amplifier so the
airflow is not obstructed.
The recommended minimum space for installation
is 17 inches (43.2 cm) wide, 16 inches (40.7 cm) deep,
(including connectors), and 8 inches (20.3 cm) high.
Allow 1 inch (2.54 cm) in front of panel for knob
clearance.
CUSTOM INSTALLATION
The PANLOC system of installing equipment
conveniently and securely is a product of McIntosh
research. The PANLOC buttons on the front panel
will lock the unit firmly in place when turned ap-
proximately one-quarter turn clockwise. A one-
quarter counterclockwise turn of the PANLOC but-
tons unlocks the chassis from its mounting.
To install the instrument in a McIntosh cabinet,
follow the instructions that are enlcosed with the
cabinet. For any other type of installation follow
these instructions:
1. Unpack from Carton
Open the carton and remove the PANLOC brackets,
2. Mark the Cabinet Panel
Tape the mounting template in position on the
cabinet panel where the instrument is to be install-
ed. The broken lines that represent the outline of
the rectangular cutout also represent the outside
dimensions of the chassis. Make sure these lines
clear shelves, partitions, or any equipment. With the
template in place, first mark the six A and B holes
and the four small holes that locate the corners of
the cutout. Then, join the four corner markings with
pencil lines, using the edge of the template as a
straightedge.
3. Drill Holes
