1.2.1 Power Button
The power button is a large, silver button located on the bottom right of the front of the
unit. This button begins the shutdown process which takes about a minute to properly close
the system and turn off. This button is ONLY accessible when the faceplate has been
removed.
1.2.2 Front IR Port
The front IR port and Blue Power Light on an
AudioReQuest unit can each be enabled or disabled
with the appropriate push button.
1.2.3 Eject
On each unit there are two Eject buttons. The large
silver eject button, located under the power button,
will not work until the unit is fully booted. This
button is accessible with the faceplate in place.
The little manual eject button under the CD-Rom
drive will work during boot up. This is for the purpose of inserting a bootable software
update or dealer diagnostic CD provided by ReQuest. However, this button is NOT accessible
with the faceplate in place.
1.2.4 Keyboard
All remote control functions can be performed on a USB style QuickPlay QuickBoard from
ReQuest or a USB keyboard. There is a USB port for keyboards in the front of the unit
behind the faceplate in addition to USB and PS2 ports in the rear of the unit. We advise you
to turn off the AudioReQuest before connecting any keyboard. A keyboard overlay is
available for download from our website at
www.request.com under AudioReQuest
Documentation entitled, “AudioReQuest 108 Standard Keyboard Overlay.”
1.2.5 QuickSwap Hard Drives
The QuickSwap bay is a very powerful and key component in the Multi-Zone system.
QuickSwap bays allow you to transport your music library between other. Larger drive sizes
may become available through your dealer and this QuickSwap technology will allow you to
easily upgrade without data loss. QuickSwap Drives are precision electro-mechanical devices
that require the utmost care when handling outside of the chassis.
