Unpacking and Inspecting the Suite 7.1
Unpack your Suite 7.1 from the shipping carton and remove the enclosed AC power cord. While you
are unpacking the preamplifier, inspect it thoroughly for possible shipping damage. If you see any,
contact ADA for further instructions. If possible, save and store both the carton and the packing
inserts for possible future transport.
Placement Guidelines for Your Suite 7.1
The sleek one rack space (1 U) chassis design of the Suite 7.1 is designed to fit into tight spaces where
space and weight is often a concern such as boats and recreational vehicles. However, the compact
design of the Suite 7.1 makes it possible to install several units into the same equipment rack without
taking up a lot of space. Following are some simple guidelines to follow when installing the Suite 7.1
into your system:
• Do not obstruct the cooling fan or any of the vent openings.
• Do not block the front of the Suite 7.1 behind closed cabinet doors during use.
• Do not stack other components on top of the Suite 7.1.
Rack Mounting Your ADA Suite 7.1
When mounted in a in a standard 19" equipment rack, the Suite 7.1 chassis and front panel height
occupies three rack spaces (1 ¾” or 44.45 mm). A single standard rack space allows 1 3/4" vertical
inches in a 19-inch wide equipment rack. This measurement standard was developed by the EIA
(Electronic Industries Association) so manufacturers of electronic components and equipment racks
could build products in standardized heights that would fit in a uniform space.
The light weight of the Suite 7.1 makes it easily hold it in place while you screw it into the rack. We
recommend using nylon shoulder washers in front and behind the faceplate to help the unit from
being scratched and to also prevent ground loops.
Please call us at ADA if you need additional advice about the placement or mounting of the Suite 7.1.
