Mounting the Switcher
The DXP HD 4K PLUS series switchers can be placed on a table top (with the four provided
rubber feet attached to the bottom) or mounted to a rack.
UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the DXP
into a rack:
• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by
Extron.
• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical
loading does not create a hazardous condition.
• Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit,
consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider
equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
Mounting Procedures
• DXP 44, 84, and 88 — Using the included brackets or an optional 19-inch rack shelf
kit (available at www.extron.com), mount the unit to the rack, following the instructions
provided with the mounting kit.
• DXP 42 — Using an optional rack shelf kit, back-of-the-rack mounting kit, or
under-desk mounting kit such as the Extron MBU 125, mount the unit to the rack or
furniture, following the instructions provided with the mounting kit.
