Rack Mounting Considerations; General Precautions - Bose ControlSpace Safety Instructions & Install Manual

Rack mounting considerations

This audio signal processor requires two 1.75"
(4.4 cm) rack space units with 12.8" (32.5 cm) inside
depth. When mounting, use four screws with washers
to prevent marring the front panel. Neoprene rub-
ber washers are a good choice because they grip the
screw heads and prevent the screws from backing out
due to vibration or during transportation.
Note: If mounting below a product that protrudes past the
face of the rack, always leave a one rack space above the
processor to allow access to the front door.
CAUTION: If the unit is rack-mounted and the rack is
transported, you must mechanically support the rear of
the processor. You can place a shelf across the rear of the
processor to support the weight of the chassis.

General precautions

CAUTION: Place the unit where it will be protected from
heat and allow adequate ventilation. Place the unit away
from direct heat sources, such as heating vents and
radiators. Make sure the air can circulate freely behind,
beside and above the unit.
Do not allow the chassis to exceed the maximum oper-
ating temperature of 35˚C. Be aware of conditions in an
enclosed rack that may increase the temperature above
room ambient conditions.
CAUTION: Be sure all the fine strands of the wire are
twisted together and contained within the connector.
If even one strand is loose and can touch the adjacent
terminal, a short circuit may occur.
The information furnished in this guide does not include

ation which may arise during installation, operation, or
