SR-8100: User Manual
Installing the Rack Mount Kit
The SR-8100 includes a rack mount kit, which consists of two rack mount brackets (ears) and
several replacement screws. The brackets are mirror-opposites, and are installed with the small
support tab extending under the chassis of the SR-8100, and the mounting “ears” towards the front
of the SR-8100. The feet may be removed from the SR-8100 when rack mounting if desired.
Note: Remember that the SR-8100 is a receiver, and contains power ampliers that produce
signicant amounts of heat; to ensure optimum performance and reliable operation, you
must provide sufcient cooling. If you are mounting the SR-8100 in an open rack, it is
important that you allow sufcient clearance for free air ow through the SR-8100 (at least
four inches top and bottom and openings on the front and rear of the rack or shelf). If you
are mounting the SR-8100 in an enclosed rack or cabinet, it is important to provide sufcient
forced-air cooling. (If your rack or cabinet doesn’t already include a fan, please consider our
reliable and quiet running C-12 Cooling Unit.)
To install the Rack Mount Kit, remove the four screws on each side of the SR-8100 case (near the
front; as shown in the illustration). Retain these screws in case you ever need them. Attach the
brackets as shown, using the replacement screws provided with the Rack Mount Kit (these screws
replace the ones you just removed, and occupy the same holes).
Note: Two holes on each bracket will remain unused.
