Operating System Software Configuration
Before using UAD‑2 Live Rack, the specific settings in this section must be made in the
macOS System Preferences>Energy Saver pane to ensure proper operation.
The System Preferences application can be accessed from the Apple Menu (under the
Apple icon at the upper left of display). To access the Energy Saver pane, click its icon or
name in the main System Preferences window.
Power Adapter and Battery Tabs
The Energy Saver pane has "Battery" and "Power Adapter" tabs for configuring different
settings when the computer is running on the power adapter versus running on internal
battery power.
The required operating system settings must be set in both tabs.
Note: The settings are detailed on the next page.
Note that UAD‑2 Live Rack is fully qualified only when the Mac is connected to a
power source. However, ensure that Sleep is deactivated in the Battery tab in case the
computer's power adapter is inadvertently disconnected.
Important:
UAD-2 Live Rack is qualified when the computer is running on
AC power, and using UAD-2 Live Rack with battery power is not a supported
configuration. When using portable systems such as Macbook series notebook
computers, always use the included power adapter for optimum results.
The required macOS system settings for proper UAD-2 Live Rack operation.
Configure the Battery and Power Adapter tabs so both have the same settings.
