rating power supply as indicated on the product.

Do not attempt to service the equipment. There are no

risk of electric shock, and will void the manufacturer’s

Warning!

 

HD audio interfaces need room at their sides to maintain 
proper air flow and cooling. 

Do not install these units into a rack or other enclosure that 
doesn't leave room on either side for the unit fans.  

Do not block the sides of the units (where fans are), or 
disconnect the fan. 

If the units are racked up in a case, remove all lids, doors, 
or covers before operating the units. 

Failure to do so can result in the units overheating very 
quickly,  which can permanently damage them.
