Installation
Mounting the MSX1616
Mount the MSX1616 switcher on a standard 19-inch metal equipment rack. The unit is 6U tall.
Allow 1U above and below the switcher for heat dissipation.
To rack-mount the switcher:
1. Slide the switcher into the equipment rack.
2. Align the mounting holes of the unit with those of the rack.
3. Fasten the switcher to the rack using the machine screws included with the rack.
Device Connections
All connections (including switches, serial ports, and power, audio, and video BNC connectors)
are on the rear panel of the switcher.
7
Power Connection
Attach the power cord to the connector on the rear of the switcher. A standard IEC power cord
comes with the unit. Plug it into a 100 – 240 VAC, 50 Hz, or 60 Hz power source.
