Rack Ear Mounting Options

The long rack ears allow you to mount the unit at varying depths within the rack, as shown here.

Rack Ear Mounting Options

The rack ears can be used to mount the power strip in several arrangements other than on the rack. You can mount it under a counter or shelf (below left), on top of a table (below right), or against the wall (not shown).
With each of these options, you can choose to mount it flush to the surface (bottom) or displaced (top). In addition, you can mount the unit at angled increments of 45°. See our website for examples.

Rack Mount with Clips

This can be mounted vertically on the outside of one rail of a rack.
Using the nuts and screws provided, install the mounting brackets (with the clips oriented as shown at right) on the outside of one rack rail. Place the clips 76mm (3″) – 102mm (4″) from each end of the power strip.

Mount the Strip

Align the power strip with the inside of one edge of the mounting bracket. Apply pressure and rotate until the units snaps into place.

Wall Mount with Clips

This unit can also be mounted on a wall, either vertically or horizontally.
Draw a level or plumb line. Using wall anchors or other appropriate hardware (not provided), attach the mounting brackets (clips oriented as shown) centered on the level or plumb line, so that the clips are 76mm (3″) – 120mm (4″) from each end of the power strip. For the greatest stability and safety, we recommend you mount the brackets to studs wherever possible.
Next, insert the unit as described in Mount the Strip, on the previous page.

Connections and setup

If you desire Orc connectivity, plug a network cable from your router or switch into the network port.
Plug in the IEC power cord. To prevent an accidental disconnect, insert the included IEC sleeve before plugging in the power cord.

Troubleshooting

Watt Box is not receiving power (the System Status LED is not illuminated).

| Watt Box is not turned on.| If the Watt Box power button does not show amber, press it.
No power is being supplied.| Make sure the AC power plug is plugged into a properly grounded 220 – 240V (nominal) wall outlet. Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch. Try flipping the switches in the room, especially those near the wall outlet. Also check the location’s circuit breakers.
Too many devices are connected, causing an overload, and tripping the Watt Box’s internal circuit breaker.| Press the circuit breaker reset button. Allow 10 minutes before attempting to reset, otherwise the reset will fail. If the circuit breaker continues to trip, move one or more components to another Watt Box.
The attached component is not receiving power from the Watt Box.| Component is plugged into a controlled outlet and the outlet is off.| Log in to the Watt Box interface to turn the outlet on.
In some instances, a component plugged into a switched outlet won’t automatically power itself up when the Watt Box is turned on.| Turn the component power on.

Speakers emit a humming or buzzing noise.

| Watt Box is sharing AC power with equipment that is not properly grounded.| Connect Watt Box to a dedicated outlet.
Unplug different components from Watt Box one at a time to see if the noise stops.
The speakers are sharing a filter with noisy gear.| Move the power cords for the speakers (or the noisy components) to a different outlet filter bank.
