Note Screws for rack mounting are not included. Precautions for rack mounting If the unit is mounted together with additional units and/or other devices in an EIA standard equipment rack, the internal temperature can rise due to heat generated from the devices, resulting in impaired performance. If the unit is mounted in a rack, always observe the following requirements to avoid heat buildup: • If the unit is mounted in a rack with other devices that generate a significant amount of heat, such as a power amplifier, leave more than 1U of space between the unit and other devices (both above and below). Also, make sure to either leave any open spaces uncovered or install appropriate ventilating panels to minimize the possibility of heat buildup. • To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack open and position it at least 10 cm from walls or other surfaces. „ Placing the unit without a rack Affix the supplied non-skid pads at the four corners on the bottom of the unit, and then place the unit on a shelf or rack. Bottom face Non-skid pads Note Allow ventilation space of at least 10 cm (4 in.) on the top, either side and back of the unit. 6 En
