Rack Mounting

The FAD series amplifiers come with rubber feet that enable the amps to be
placed on a clear surface without an additional installation. However, optional
rack mounting hardware is also supplied, allowing several models to be
housed and protected inside an enclosure. Follow these steps to attach the
mounting hardware.
A pair of FAD units can be mounted side-by-side to occupy a single rack space.
Attach the coupling plate to the underside of 2 FAD units using the
included screws.
Attach the front angle brackets to either side of a pair of FAD units that have been
coupled. Alternatively, a single FAD unit can be installed in a 19" rack using the
long angle bracket, or in a half 19" rack using the short angled brackets.
Attach the angled brackets, by unscrewing the chassis side front screws and
attach again together with the brackets.
If your rack has rear rails, attach the rear flat brackets by reusing the screws from
the chassis.
Mount the FAD units into the rack by attaching 4 rack screws through the front
angle brackets and rack rails.
Hold one of the rear angle brackets up to the rear rack rails so that it lines up next
to the rear flat bracket. Do not attach it to the rear rails yet.
Insert the included shoulder screw through the slot in the rear flat bracket and
into one of the threaded holes in the rear angle bracket. The screw should allow
the rear angle bracket to slide forward and back within the flat bracket's slot.
Repeat the process for the other rear angle bracket.
Mount the rear angle brackets to the rear rack rails using 4 standard rack screws.
Tighten the shoulder screw if necessary.
The standard rack screw is M4 x 8mm.
The FAD series amplifiers are convection cooled and primarily use the top surface
to dissipate heat. For demanding applications, it is recommended to have
sufficient space (1 RU) above the amplifier to reduce the risk of limiting due
to overheating.
