how to install Middle Atlantic Custom Shelf For (4) Sonos Amps, 4RU, 14"D, Anodized

To install this shelf, begin by preparing a compatible enclosure that accommodates a 4U, 19" rack-mount accessory. Ensure there is adequate ventilation and access to power and data connections for all Sonos Amps in your system.

• Position the RSHA-SONOS-AMP2 shelf within the enclosure so that the mounting holes align with standard rack rails at the desired height. Use the included mounting screws to secure the shelf firmly to the rails, ensuring it is level and stable for all four Amps.
• Place the four Sonos Amps onto the shelf in their designated slots or mounting positions as defined by the RSHA-SONOS-AMP2 configuration. Confirm each Amp sits flat and securely, with no tilt or misalignment that could stress connectors or affect airflow.
• Route power and data cables from the back of each Amp, taking care to separate power lines from data where possible to reduce interference. Use cable management features on the shelf or enclosure to keep cables tidy and out of the way of airflow paths.
• Attach any required protection or strain-relief components for power and ethernet connections. Verify all connections are snug and that cables do not obstruct ventilation openings or adjacent components.
• Power up the system and perform a basic functional check to ensure all four Amps initialize correctly within the multi-zone setup. If needed, adjust cable routing or Amp orientation for optimal airflow and service access.
