Introduction Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Tio1608-D2 I/O rack. The Tio1608-D2 is an I/O rack that features 16 channels of analog inputs and 8 channels of analog outputs. In order to take full advantage of this product's features, and to enjoy years of trouble-free use, please read this document before you begin using the product. After you have read this document, please keep it in a safe place. Updating the firmware The firmware contained in this product can be updated to take advantage of new features, feature improvements, and bug fixes. The product uses two types of firmware. • Main unit firmware • Dante module firmware Details about updating the firmware are available online. https://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ For information about updating and setting up the console, please refer to the firmware update guide available on the website. NOTE When updating this product's Dante module firmware, make sure you also update the Dante module firmware contained in other connected devices. Dante support This product uses the Dante digital audio network protocol to send and receive audio signals. Dante is a protocol developed by Audinate that is designed to deliver multichannel audio signals at various sampling and bit rates, as well as device control signals over a Gigabit Ethernet network. For information about Dante, please visit the Audinate website. http://www.audinate.com/ You can also find information about Dante and Dantecompatible products on the Yamaha Pro Audio website. https://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ NOTE Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches in a Dante network. The EEE function may deteriorate the clock synchronization performance and interrupting audio. Therefore we strongly recommend that: • If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on all ports used for real-time Dante traffic. • If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use network switches that support the EEE function, since EEE operation cannot be disabled in these switches. * EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet and IEEE802.3az. Precautions when rackmounting This product is designed to function in environments with a temperature of 0 to 40°C. If you install this product together with multiple units of the same device or other devices in a standard EIA rack, the heat produced by the devices may raise the ambient temperature inside the rack enclosure to the point where performance is affected. To ensure that the heat produced by this product can be dissipated appropriately, please ensure the following conditions when rackmounting it. • When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of heat, leave at least 1U of unused space between the unit and the other device. Additionally, install a ventilation panel in this unused space or leave it open to ensure adequate cooling. • To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the back of the rack open and position it at least 10 centimeters from walls or other surfaces. If the back of the rack cannot be left open, install a commercially available fan or similar ventilating option to secure sufficient airflow. If you install a fan kit, there may be cases in which closing the back of the rack will produce a greater cooling effect. Refer to the documentation included with the rack and/or fan unit details. Recessed Installation If you want to recess the front panel surface of the device from the front edge of the rack, you can adjust the position of the rack mount brackets to recess the device by 50mm, as shown in the illustration below. 50 mm NOTE When you install the brackets, use the same screws that you just removed.
