Rack Mounting HD Audio Interfaces
HD I/O and all Avid HD audio interfaces need
room at their sides to maintain proper air flow for
cooling. Do not block the sides of the unit or dis-
connect the internal fan. If the units are rack-
mounted in a case, remove the case lids or doors
before operating the system. Failure to do so can
result in the units overheating very quickly, which
can permanently damage sensitive
components.
