2For forward mounting, do the following:
• Position one of the rack ears at the front of the rack, making sure it is oriented correctly for right-front or left-front location, as ap-
propriate.
• Insert nine rack ear screws with washers in the positions indicated in the figure below, and tighten to secure the rack ear to the rack.
• Repeat the same procedure to attach the other rack ear to the other side of the rack using the other nine screws.
3For reverse mounting, do the following:
• Position one of the rack ears at the back of the unit, making sure it is oriented correctly for right-back or left-back location, as ap-
propriate.

Mounting Stage 64 in a Case
The Stage 64 can be installed in a standard 19-inch road case. When the Stage 64 is forward-mounted in a case, its audio connectors face
the front of the case.
When the Stage 64 is reverse-mounted, its fans, power switches and AC connectors face the front of the case.
To mount the Stage 64 in a case:
1Team lift the Stage 64 and slide it into position from the front of its case or enclosure.
2Align the holes in the rack ears to the appropriate holes in the rack rails attached to the case, and secure the Stage 64 using the in-
cluded rack screws and corresponding washers (four per side).
