UAD-2 Satellite Installation

Install Software

First

The software installation procedure for UAD-2 Satellite is the exact same pro-
cedure as those for UAD cards. Install the software before the hardware un-
less you are updating a previous installation. Refer to

“UAD Software Instal-

lation” on page 28

for detailed procedures.

Software

Updates

The CD-ROM in the retail package may not contain the latest UAD software.
Please check our website for software updates:

• http://www.uaudio.com/support/uad/downloads.html

If the UAD software is already installed, the UAD Meter & Control Panel has
a convenient button that links to the updates page (

“Check for Updates” on

page 65).

Satellite Install

Location

When selecting a location to position UAD-2 Satellite during installation and
use, consider these points:

• The unit should be positioned on a secure, stable surface and not moved

during operation. This will help prevent the disruption of signals from cables
and/or connectors if they are accidentally bumped (or worse).

• For proper ventilation to prevent overheating, place UAD-2 Satellite on a

hard, flat surface and do not cover the unit. Allow air to circulate under-
neath the chassis. Multiple UAD-2 Satellite units may be safely stacked.

• High levels of radio-frequency radiation could interfere with proper opera-

tion. If possible, avoid placement near unshielded monitors, radio transmit-
ters, and similar equipment.
