Installing the AMX switch

The AMX switch is the central hub of your AMX system. All users and

computers are connected through it.

Rack mounting your AMX switch

You can either place your AMX switch on your rack shelf or rack mount your

unit into an EIA standard rack.

A rack mounting kit is supplied with each AMX. Before installing the switch

and other components in the rack, plan carefully to avoid uneven loading or

overloading of the rack.

CAUTION: Rack Loading - Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or

rack failure, causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a

permanent location before loading begins. Mount components beginning at the bottom of the

rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack load rating.

CAUTION: Power Considerations - Connect only to the power source speciﬁ ed on the unit.

When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total component

power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension

cords present ﬁ re and shock hazards.
