USB Ports for iLoks
D-Show Profile provides three USB ports on the control sur-
face and three on the FOH Rack, any of which can be used to
connect an iLok. Multiple iLoks can connected at one time.
The FOH Rack provides a total of three USB 2.0 ports (one
on the front panel, one on the back panel, and another in-
side the rack). Because the USB ports on the FOH Rack are
the faster USB 2.0 version, it is recommended that you use
the external USB port for large transfers to and from USB
storage devices; use the internal USB port to attach and se-
cure an iLok USB Smart key.
To access the internal USB port and attach an iLok:
Remove the front panel of the FOH Rack.
1
Identify the USB port location at the lower left.
2
Insert the iLok and use a cable tie to secure the iLok to the
3
interior support post.
Re-attach the front panel.
