Dear Subscribers,

Further to some feedback from customers please see the below information regarding rack mounting Hippotizer Media Servers.

The Hippotizer comes in an industry standard 19” rack mount case.  The ‘ears’

on either side allow you to install it into a standard flight case or any environment employing the 19” standard. Like any hardware that may be used for touring or industrial installations, appropriate protection and support should be provided by the rack mount and flight case. Most importantly this means making sure that there is adequate support at the rear of the case aswell as the front.
Hippotizers are heavy machines and the front mounting alone is not sufficient when units are being toured or moved from one place to another on a regular basis.

When working with the Hippotizer Stage and Hippotizer HD, particularly on touring or industrial installations, Green Hippo strongly recommend the use of slide rails when mounting your Hippotizer to ensure it is provided with adequate support.

Hippo Critter units are not 19” rack mountable, but an optional mounting bracket is available to mount the unit on the wall, or truss for permanent installations. Going forwards Green Hippo will provide details on a custom built rack mount solution for the HippoCritter. Details will appear on our website as soon as this is available.

Any faults caused by failure to provide adequate support to your Hippotizer when mounting are not covered under warranty

Thank you

The Green Hippo Team
