RACK MOUNTING
When the amplifier is mounted in a rack, the heat generated by the amplifier heats up the air inside the rack causing the
temperature of the amplifier's operating environment to increase. It is therefore necessary for the rack to be well
ventilated in order to lower the temperature of the air surrounding the amplifier. Since hot air inside the rack will tend
to rise to the top, the most effective ventilation method is to draw air in at the bottom of the rack and expel it from the
top.
