MIXING CARBON FIBER AND ALUMINUM
COMPONENTS
NOTE: This section is only applicable to EPIC and SCARLET cameras.
The structural mounting points for the carbon fiber media modules are optimized for the carbon fiber EPIC/SCARLET,
whereas the structural mounting points for the standard aluminum side SSD modules are optimized for use with the
standard aluminum camera.
Using a carbon fiber media module with an aluminum EPIC/SCARLET or using an aluminum side SSD module with a
carbon fiber EPIC/SCARLET may lead to an unstable connection between the camera and the module, which could
affect data integrity.
WARNING: Damage to the camera, side SSD module, or other components of the camera system caused by mixing
carbon fiber components with non-carbon-fiber components is not covered under warranty, and may void the warranty
for both the camera and the side SSD module.
