Appendix C – Mounting your units
This section provides guidelines for mounting your Maevex units in rack mounts or on VESA mounts
using one or multiple mounting kits available from Matrox: the rack mounting kit and the angled
bracket kit.
Mounting guidelines
To prevent damage to your Matrox hardware, read the following guidelines before mounting your
Matrox hardware:
 Mounting shelf only – To install your mounting shelf, fasten it to the rack as per your
rack’s instructions. Head screws compatible with most rack mounts are provided.
 Mounting shelf only – The mounting shelf has existing holes for your Maevex unit that
allow the shelf to be mounted facing forward or backward.
 Use a hand screwdriver to carefully tighten each screw. Make sure not to overtighten the
screws.
 Don’t stack anything directly over the unit.
 Make sure the cables connected to your unit are properly secured and that no tension is
applied to them.
 Make sure the ambient temperature doesn’t exceed the maximum recommended
temperatures. For more information, see “Product information”, page 41.
Once your Maevex unit is mounted, you can connect your system, monitors, and devices to your unit.
Mounting your Maevex encoder or decoder units horizontally
Using the mounting shelf kit in a rack mount, you can mount two (2) Maevex encoder units or three
(3) decoder units horizontally on a single shelf.
