3.1. Unpacking

Carefully open the shipping carton and check for any damage to the device or the supplied accessories. Every
LAKE 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.
In addition to the LAKE LM Series device, the shipping carton include the following items:
• LAKE LM Series Quick Start Guide
• AC mains lead (IEC power cable) with locking connector
• AES break-out cable (8-in, 8-out)
• Ethernet Cable
Please keep the original carton and associated packaging to facilitate shipping of the device should the need arise.

3.2. Mounting

Airflow for cooling the device is from side to side (right-side intake to left-side fan). Please ensure there is sufficient
space each side of the unit to allow airflow; the space provided by standard rack-rails should be sufficient. This
device has no top or bottom vents and therefore may be stacked directly on top of each other.
Sufficient space should be available at the front of the rack to accommodate the handles, and at the rear to
accommodate connectors and cables; allowance must be made for cable or loom bends within a rack.

3.3. Cooling

The LAKE LM Series devices use a forced-air cooling system, with airflow from right to left. The dust filter on the
air intake (right-side) should be regularly cleaned, especially after exposure to dusty environments, to ensure the
maximum possible airflow through the unit.
This device is designed to operate in situations where the ambient temperature is below 55° C (131° F). Automatic
actions and warnings occur at following temperature thresholds:
• At 40° C (104° F) or less, the fan is OFF
• At more than 40° C (104° F) the fan is ON
• At 55° C (131° F) a temperature warning is indicated on the front panel as 'TEMP WARNING' and in the
Controller Event Log as 'Temp warning: DSP area'.
• At 70° C (158° F) the device has exceeded the maximum normal operating temperature. This fault is indicated
on the front panel as 'OVERTEMP' and in the Controller Event Log as 'Temp fault: DSP area'.
