9 Voltera Amplifiers Installation and Set Up Guide

Install Option: A single amplifier in a 19-inch AV rack

Install a single amplifier by itself in an AV equipment rack using the included Single-Device

Mounting Bracket and the Device Mounting Bracket.

1. Verify the installation rack space meets the temperature and spacing requirements in

the Installation section Consideration on page 2.

2. Attach the single-unit mounting bracket to the left or right side of the amplifier.
