Installing Into An Equipment Rack - AMX MAX-CSD 10 Operation And Reference Manual

Installing Into an Equipment Rack

Both the MAX-CSE Encoder and the MAX-CSD10 Decoder are designed to be tabletop units, but they
may also be fitted for use into equipment racks. Should you choose to do so, use the optional AC-RK
Accessory Rack Kit (FG515) to mount the MAX unit into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded object.
2. Align the front of the MAX unit through any of the three rectangular openings on the AC-RK.
3. Use the included mounting screws to secure the MAX unit's faceplate to the AC-RK.
4. Thread the cables through the opening in the equipment rack. Allow for enough slack in the cables
to accommodate for movement during the installation process.
5. Reconnect all cables to their source/terminal locations.
To prevent repetition of the installation, test the incoming wiring by connecting the
MAX's connectors to their terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the unit
is receiving power and functioning properly. Disconnect the terminal end of either the
power cable from the connected 12 VDC-compliant power supply or Ethernet
connector from the PoE switch.
6. Align the ends of the AC-RK with the screw openings along the sides of the equipment rack.
7. Secure the AC-RK to the rack by using the four #10-32 screws (80-0186) and four #10 washers (80-
0342) supplied in the kit.
8. Verify the terminal audio/video source is properly configured and connected properly.
9. Apply power to the unit to complete the installation process.
MAX-CSE/MAX-CSD10 Operation/Reference Guide
Verify that the terminal end of the power cable is not connected to the a power supply before
plugging in the 2-pin power connector.
If using indirect PoE to feed power into the unit, verify that the terminal end of the RJ-45 is
not connected to an 802.3af-compliant PoE switch.
