2.9 Mounting system electronics

The system electronics can be shelf or wall mounted. If wall mounted, use proper attachment techniques for your

wall construction type.

2.9.1 Wall mounting

WARNING

Do not use the system electronics as a drill guide; personal injury could result. Be sure to observe all other safety

precautions while drilling or installing the mounting hardware.

Attach the system electronics to a vertical surface using at least four of the ten mounting holes. In the U.S., #10 sheet

metal or machine screws, or

"keyhole" mounting holes.

The type and length of fastener depends upon the mounting surface selected. To mount to hollow gypsum board or

plaster wall, use wall anchors with a load rating in shear of at least 25 pounds PER FASTENER. Direct attachment to

more substantial material also should meet this criteria. The keyholes make it easy to pre-install the fasteners before

mounting. For security from accidental or rapid removal of the system electronics, use washers under the screw

heads. This prevents using the keyhole feature. The two additional round holes may be used for the same purpose.

Recommendation: Bose

additional holes allow you to mount the system electronics securely.

2.9.2 Shelf mounting

1. If mounting in an audio equipment rack, use a shelf designed for rack systems. If the shelf is above other sources

of heat such as amplifiers, use a solid material shelf not a perforated material shelf.

Note: DO NOT attach a rack panel to the front of the system box to mount it in a rack.

2. Maintain the 2 inch (50 mm) clearance recommendations when stacking electronic equipment above or below

the system electronics.

3. To prevent accidental dislodging of the system box, use at least two mounting screws to attach the system to

the shelf surface.

4. Use cable ties or other forms of strain relief on the signal and loudspeaker cables to prevent excessive mechani-

cal stress on the wire connections.

5. Allow enough cable slack to move the system electronics forward if adjusting the controls is needed.

6. Dress the wiring so that no one can accidentally trip over it.
