MOUNTING THE CD3000XL
If you plan to rack mount the CD3000XL, try to leave some ‘breathing space’ around it to
prevent overheating. It is recommended you leave 1U of rack space above and below the
sampler.
If you are placing the sampler on a table, make sure that the table is sturdy and that the sampler
is not positioned precariously.
If you are using the CD3000XL with a hard disk device of any kind, the disk drive MUST be
mounted horizontally. If the disk drive is at an angle, even a slight one, you may have
unreliability problems and even data corruption.
If you are planning to rack mount the hard disk with the sampler, it is recommended you use the
‘padded’ type of rack mount adapter available from most manufacturers of rack and flight cases
especially if you are likely to be travelling a lot with the set-up. The padding will help protect the
disk drive’s delicate head mechanism against shock and excessive vibration.
It goes without saying that the CD3000XL and the disk drive are delicate pieces of precision
electronics and they don’t take kindly to being thrown around however sturdy your flight case
might be!
