•Attach the rubber feet and place the unit on a flat surface.
•Fasten a bracket (included) on each side of the unit and attach it to a flat surface
(see www.kramerav.com/downloads/VA-4X).
•Mount the unit in a rack using the recommended rack adapter
(see www.kramerav.com/product/VA-4X).
•Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature &
air flow) is compatible for the device.
•Avoid uneven mechanical loading.
•Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.
•Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
