Crestron MP2 & MP2E 2-Series Integrated AV Control System
Rack Mounting
The MP2 & MP2E can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two
“ears” are provided with the MP2 & MP2E so that the unit can be rack mounted.
These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to
attach the ears to the unit. The only tool required is a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following
guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
NOTE: If rack mounting is not required, rubber feet are provided for tabletop
mounting or stacking. Apply the feet near the corner edges on the underside of the
unit.
NOTE: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
To install the ears:
1. There are screws that secure each side of the MP2 & MP2E top cover.
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws closest to the front
panel from one side of the unit. Refer to the diagram following step 3 for a
detailed view.
2. Position a rack ear so that its mounting holes align with the holes vacated
by the screws in step 1.
3. Secure the ear to the unit with three screws from step 1, as shown in the
following diagram.

opposite side.
Bussing Strip Installation
The 2-Series integrated AV control system is supplied with two brass bussing strips
to facilitate commoning (linking) of multiple terminal block connections. The
bussing strips are constructed with four terminal block positions and may be
trimmed to size for various applications or different devices. One strip is supplied for
each 8-position terminal block.
