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 & Field Reference Guide
▸ AC mains lead (IEC power cable) with locking connector
▸ AES break-out cable (8-in, 8-out)
▸ Ethernet Cable
▸ Software Installer and Documentation CD-ROM or USB key
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 on 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
