Unpacking - AMX Optima Instruction Manual

Installation and Setup
Mechanical (Rack) Loading
When installing equipment in a rack, distribute the weight to avoid uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
When connecting the equipment to the supply circuits, be aware of the effect that overloading the
circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.
Reliable Earthing (Grounding)
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. If not using a direct connection to
the branch circuit (e.g., plugging into a power strip), pay particular attention to supply connections.
Caution: For proper start up, turn on all power switches for the AMX AutoPatch equipment at the
same time before applying power to the source and destination devices. We recommend attaching
all power cords to a surge protector and/or an AC line conditioner.

Unpacking

The Optima is shipped with one enclosure per shipping box. The invoice is sent separately; a packing
slip is attached to the outside of each box. Each box contains the following items:
The documentation in the first box includes:
The shipping boxes are marked as "Chassis __ of __," where the first blank is the box number and the
second blank is the total number of boxes in the shipment.
Important: If applicable, the shipping boxes each have a bright yellow/green sticker that states that
the unit (enclosure) is part of a multiple-enclosure system and must be installed with the same serial
numbers.
Unpacking Tips
