How to install Chief Fusion 24" Video Conference Shelf
Installing the Chief Fusion 24" Video Conference Shelf is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize reliability. Follow these steps to ensure a secure, professional installation that supports clean cable management and optimal component placement:
- Plan placement and verify mounting infrastructure: Assess the viewing height of your TV and the reach of your conference staff. Confirm that the Fusion mounting system above the display is rated to support the weight of your video conferencing gear. If you’re replacing an existing upper component, ensure your wall or ceiling mount points align with the Fusion rails for a seamless fit.
- Prepare the Fusion upper component: If you’re adding this shelf to an existing Fusion configuration, detach or realign any elements as needed to create a stable mounting surface for the shelf. Clean the area, inspect mounting rails, and ensure all fasteners are ready for installation.
- Attach the shelf to the Fusion system: Secure the 24" upper shelf to the Fusion mounting rails or brackets using the manufacturer-supplied hardware. Use a level to verify that the shelf sits evenly and adjust as necessary. Tighten all fasteners to the recommended torque to prevent any movement that could affect equipment alignment during use.
- Place and arrange equipment: Position your video conferencing camera, AV receivers, soundbars, or other conferencing peripherals on the shelf. Keep heavier items toward the center to maintain balance. Avoid placing heat-generating devices near the television or power sources to prevent overheating or signal interference.
- Route cables and test the system: Run power and data cables along the back of the shelf or through integrated channels to keep gaps minimal and cables out of sight. Connect the devices to your video conferencing system and test camera, microphone, and display performance. Confirm that all devices power on reliably and that software and firmware are up to date for optimal collaboration experience.
