Contents

Install Location When selecting a location to position the UAD–Xpander during installation
and use, consider these points:
• The UAD–Xpander should be positioned on a secure, stable surface and not
moved during operation. This will help prevent the disruption of signals from
cables and/or connectors if they are accidentally bumped (or worse).
• For proper ventilation to prevent overheating, place the UAD–Xpander on a
hard, flat surface and do not cover the unit. Allow air to circulate under-
neath the chassis.
• High levels of radio-frequency radiation could interfere with proper opera-
tion. If possible, avoid placement near unshielded monitors, radio transmit-
ters, and similar equipment.
