The front fans are for air intake, and the rear fans are for air exhaust. Do not block any fans as this may lead to the system
overheating. Some connectors on the rear of the XL-Series are inactive: D-SUB connector above SDI outputs, and audio
connectors except for labelled AUDIO OUT.
Note:
the XL-Series should always be installed and used in the orientation shown in the diagrams above. Installation in a
