Yamaha 16A NUAGE I/O 16D/16A/8A8D Operation Manual - Page 8

Introduction Precautions for Rack Mounting This unit is rated for operation at ambient temperatures ranging from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. When mounting the unit with other device(s) in an EIA standard equipment rack, internal temperatures can exceed the specified upper limit, resulting in impaired performance or failure. When rack mounting the unit, always observe the following requirements to avoid heat buildup: • When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of heat, leave more than 1U of space between NUAGE I/O and other equipment. Also either leave the open spaces uncovered or install appropriate ventilating panels to minimize the possibility of heat buildup. • To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack open and position it at least 10 centimeters from walls or other surfaces. If the rear of the rack can't be left open, install a commercially available fan or similar ventilating option to secure sufficient airflow. If you've installed a fan kit, there may be cases in which closing the rear of the rack will produce a greater cooling effect. Refer to the rack and/or fan unit manual for details. Connection between the Device and a Computer The device can be connected to a computer in one of two ways: with or without the DANTE ACCELERATOR. Using the DANTE ACCELERATOR gives you the added advantages of lower latency, using more channels, and utilization of a redundant network. The descriptions in this manual assume you are using the DANTE ACCELERATOR. To connect the device and a computer with the DANTE ACCELERATOR, install the Dante Controller to the computer. Dante Controller is a software application that allows configuration and audio routing of the Dante network. When not using the DANTE ACCELERATOR, install the Dante Controller and DVS (Dante Virtual Soundcard). Dante Controller is a software application that allows configuration and audio routing of the Dante network. DVS is a software application that uses the computer as a Dante-enabled device. Dante Controller is available on the following website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ DVS is commercially available on the following website. http://www.audinate.com/ For details on Dante Controller and DVS, refer to the respective manuals.
