3 Getting Started

This chapter explains how to get the Z8 up and running, including connecting, switching
on, navigating the user interface, and some operating basics.

Installation

If the Z8 is rack mounted, 5 cm of space should be left above and below it to provide ade-
quate ventilation. Do not mount the Z8 directly above equipment that produces a lot of
heat, such as a power amplifier. If the Z8 is to be free standing, ensure that it is placed on
a sturdy, level surface, and that its ventilation grilles are not obstructed.
