Note: The rack mounting and desk/wall mounting components
described and illustrated in Sections 4.1 to 4.3 are not supplied
with PowerZone Connect ampliers but are available to purchase as
accessories. Contact your amplier re-seller for more information.
4.1 PowerZone Connect Mounting
The PowerZone Connect ampliers are shipped without rack
mount hardware attached but can be congured for rack
installation using one standard rack ‘ear’ and one half-rack
extension piece as illustrated in Diagram 3a. The installation
and equipment rack should be congured to provide
appropriate ventilation airow space around the sides and
rear of the amplier as illustrated in as illustrated in Diagram
1a. Ventilation airow space of at least 25 mm (1 in) should
be maintained along at least one side of the amplier at all
times. Ventilation apertures are also located on the rear panel
of the amplier and must not be obstructed. It is important to
retain at least 80 mm (3.1 in) free space for airow behind the
amplier rear panel.
In addition to rack mount ears, optional rack mount rear
support hardware is available and can be attached to the
amplier. Rear support hardware may be appropriate if
the amplier is to be used in a mobile rack or potentially be
subject to signicant movement. Diagram 3b illustrates the
use of rack mount rear support hardware.
Multiple PowerZone Connect ampliers can also be
mechanically connected using accessory connecting plates.
Diagram 3c illustrates the use of connecting plates.
