Chapter 2: Installation 11
NOTE: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment -
- Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
- Disconnect the power from the unit by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical outlet or the unit.

Installing an AMX Switch

The AMX switch is the central hub of your AMX switching system. All users and computers are
connected through it.

Rack mounting your AMX switch
You can either place your AMX switch on your rack shelf or mount your switch directly into an
EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) standard rack.
A rack mounting kit is supplied with each AMX switch. Before installing the switch and other
components in the rack, plan carefully to avoid uneven loading or overloading of the rack.
CAUTION: Rack Loading - Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, causing
damage to equipment and possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading
begins. Mount components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack
load rating.
CAUTION: Power Considerations - Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple
electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit
capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards.
