Installation
The SMR 821 is designed to be installed in a standard EIA equipment rack.
Since the depth of the unit is only 8-3/4”, you can use practically any size
rack. Using only a single EIA rack space, the SMR 821 includes integral rack
mounting ears and does not require any additional hardware for rack mount-
ing.......other than the rack screws!
All connections for the SMR 821 are made on the rear panel. It is recom-
mended that you provide an additional 4” of clearance between the rear of
the chassis and the interior rear of your equipment rack for wiring harnesses.
Since every connection to the SMR 821 is easy to disconnect, the unit can be
removed from an equipment rack easily, without have to disturb fixed
wiring harnesses.
Although the SMR 821 does not generate enough heat to warrant forced air
or convection cooling, it is recommended that you provide a single rack
space vent above, and below the unit when rack mounting. Using common
sense when installing this unit will ensure that it will provide years of trou-
ble free service. In installations where there are multiple power amplifiers, it
is further recommended that the SMR 821 be located more toward the top of
the rack, while power amplifiers remain near the bottom. This is generally
considered to be standard rack design in the commercial audio industry.
Following this convention will ensure adequate rack cooling and reliable
operation from the SMR 821.
