Installing the Rack Mount Kit (DM7 COMPACT)
You can attach the separately-sold RK1 Rack Mount Kit to
the DM7 COMPACT and mount the unit in a rack or in an
installed system.
1. Make sure that the power is turned off.
2. Remove screws (A) on the side pads to
detach the pads.
NOTE
Keep the side pad screws together with the pads you
removed.
3. Use the screws included in the RK1 package
to install the hardware.
Tighten the screws at three locations as indicated by
the arrows in the illustration below.
4. Attach the hardware to the other side in the
same way.
Precautions for rack mounting
Operation of this device is guaranteed within a temperature
range of 0 to 40°C. If you mount this unit along with other
equipment in an EIA standard rack, the heat from each
device will raise the temperature inside the rack, which may
prevent the unit from achieving full performance. When rack
mounting the unit, always observe the following
requirements to avoid heat buildup:
• Be sure to leave at least 14U space (excluding the space
for cable connections) around the unit.
• When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as
power amplifiers that tend to generate a significant
amount of heat, leave a sufficient space between this unit
and other equipment. Also, ensure sufficient ventilation
by installing a ventilation panel in these spaces, or simply
leave the open spaces uncovered.
• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack
open and position it at least 10 cm from walls, ceilings or
other surfaces. If the rear of the rack cannot be left open,
install a commercially-available fan kit or similar forced
system to secure sufficient airflow. If you have installed a
fan kit, there may be cases in which closing the rear of the
rack will produce a greater cooling effect. For more
information, refer to the instruction manuals for the rack
and fan kit.
CAUTION
When attaching the RK1 Rack Mount Kit, you must
turn off the power switches on the unit and use the
screws that are included in the RK1 package.
Otherwise, component failure or electric shock may
occur.
