Unpacking

Unpack your ampliﬁer and inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit. If damage is found, notify the shipping company immediately. Only you can

initiate a claim for shipping damage, though Crown will be happy to help as needed. If the product arrived showing signs of damage, save the shipping carton for the

shipper’s inspection.

We also recommend that you save all packing materials for use if you ever need to transport the unit. Never ship the unit without the factory carton and packing materials.

All DCi Series ampliﬁers are 3.5 in. (8.9 cm).high and 19 in. (48.3 cm) wide. All are 14.25

in. (36.2 cm) deep except the DCi8|600N & DCi4|1250N which are 17 in. (43.2 cm) deep,

and the 2|2400N & 4|2400N which are 19 in. (48.3 cm) deep (See Figure 1)

Mount the unit in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack (EIA RS-310B). You can

also place a single amp on a solid, stable surface or stack multiple amps.

NOTE: Ampliﬁers should be supported at both the front and rear of the rack.

Ensure Proper Cooling

When using an equipment rack, mount units directly on top of each other. Close any open

spaces in the rack with blank panels. (Open spaces will reduce cooling efﬁciency.) DO NOT

block front or rear air vents.

The rack should be a minimum of two inches (5.1 cm) away from the ampliﬁer, and the back of

the rack should be a minimum of four inches (10.2 cm) from the ampliﬁer back panel.
