Unpacking and Inspection 
 
Your DEQ230 was packed carefully at the factory. The shipping 
carton was designed to protect the unit during transit. Please keep 
this carton in the highly unlikely event that you need to return the 
DEQ230 for servicing. 
 
The shipping carton should contain the following items: 
 
•  DEQ230 with the same serial number as shown on shipping 
carton  
•  A/C power supply adapter (DEQ230 only) 
•  A/C power cable (DEQ230D only) 
•  This instruction manual 
 
Installing in a Rack 
 
The DEQ230 may be simply set on a table, or installed in a 
standard 19" audio equipment rack.  
 
Thermal Considerations in Rack 
Mounting 
 
The DEQ230 can be mounted in an equipment rack (occupying 
one rack space) or placed on a table or shelf. When you install it, 
keep in mind that heat is the greatest enemy of  electronic 
equipment. Please observe the following: 
 
•  The DEQ230 is designed to perform properly over a range of  
ambient temperatures from 10° C to +40° C (50° F to 104° F), 
in up to 80% non-condensing humidity. These are not absolute 
limits, but Alesis cannot guarantee that the DEQ230 will meet 
its published specs or remain reliable if  operated outside of  
these ranges.  
 
•  Always allow adequate ventilation behind the DEQ230. Do not 
seal any enclosure that holds this unit. It is not necessary to 
leave an empty rack space above or below the DEQ230. 
However, if  your environment is unusually warm and not air 
conditioned, space between units will help the units run cooler.
