7.1. Unpacking

Carefully open the shipping carton and check for any damage to the device or the supplied accessories. Every

Lab.gruppen product is tested and inspected before leaving the factory and should arrive in perfect condition. If

any damage is discovered, please notify the shipping company immediately. Only the consignee may initiate a

claim with the carrier or their insurers for damage incurred during shipping. Save the carton and packing materials

for the carrier’s inspection.

7.1.1. Included in the box

In addition to the D Series device, the shipping carton includes the following items:

• D Series Lake Quick Start Guide (this document)

• AC mains lead (power cable) with Neutrik powerCON connector (D 200, D 120 and D 80) or locking IEC

• Rear brackets for additional rear rack support (pair) along with associated mounting hardware

• Connector kit including all needed connectors

• Front grille and dust ﬁ lter assembly

NOTE: Depending on the model, the connector kit might include more connectors than applicable for

the product you have. Select those connectors required for your unit and application.

Please keep the original carton and associated packaging to facilitate shipping of the device should the need arise.

7.2. Mounting

D Series is made for mounting in 19 inch racks. Four screw holes are available for attachment of the ampliﬁ er to

the racks front rack rail. This device has no top or bottom vents; therefore, units may be stacked directly on top of

one another. Sufﬁ cient space should be available at the rear to accommodate connectors and cables. In addition,

allowance must be made for cable or loom bends within a rack.

7.2.1. Rear Mounting

Two rear support brackets, along with associated mounting hardware, are included with the D Series device. It is

strongly recommended that these are used wherever possible. Fit the brackets to the vertical rails at the rear of the

rack. The following diagrams show the ﬁ tting options for ﬁ xed and removable installation. The support brackets are

reversible and may be ﬁ tted to point either to the front or rear of the rack; the proper orientation depends on the

rack depth and position of the rear rack rails.

7.2.2. Mounting front grille

The front grille is shipped on top of the ampliﬁ er inside the box to protect it during shipping. The front grille adheres

to the ampliﬁ er with magnets. Hold the front grille with your ﬁ ngers in each of the side cutouts and slide it gently into

place straight from the front.

NOTE: Always ensure the dust ﬁ lters behind the detachable front panel are clean to allow maximum

possible airﬂ ow. The exterior front panel is held in place by powerful magnets but is easy to detach by

using your ﬁ ngers in the openings at the each side. To clean the foam ﬁ lter, detach it from the exterior

front and gently use a vacuum cleaner or gently shake it. Remount with the opposite procedure. Never

operate the ampliﬁ er without the dust ﬁ lter installed.
