4 Attach the rails to the rack posts.
5 Pull the inner rail out until it locks.
6 Slide the NEXIO AMP into the rail until it stops; press the release latch on each slide and continue to
slide the NEXIO AMP into the rail until it locks.


Connecting NEXIO AMP

The NEXIO AMP comes with the rack mounting rails.
The following are installation requirements/recommendations:
Equipment — Mount the chassis on an appropriate rack using the provided rack

mounting and support equipment.
Power source — Connect the power inlet to an adequate power source. Using a UPS

is strongly recommended. Connect each of the two redundant power supply
connections to a separate electrical circuit for added protection.
Adequate airflow — NEXIO AMP frames require adequate airflow around the chassis

to provide sufficient cooling. All components draw air in through the front and exhaust
via the rear of the frame. The surfaces must be clear of obstructions to provide proper
air circulation and cooling.
External device connections — Video monitors and all connections to external

devices should be available and in working order.
Cable clearance — Provide at least 2 inches of clearance in the rear of the rack for

cabling.
Ensure that the rack is anchored to the floor so that it cannot tip over when NEXIO
AMP is extended out of the rack.
