(“Installing Optional Cards” page 16).
ADante [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY]
These connectors are used to connect to other Dante
audio network devices, such as an Rio3224-D2 I/O
device. Use RJ-45 plugs that are compatible with
Neutrik etherCON CAT5e connectors.
These connectors support up to 144-in/144-out, and
96 kHz/24 or 32-bit, or 48 kHz/24 or 32-bit audio.
NOTE
• Use STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to prevent
electromagnetic interference. Make sure that the metal
parts of the plugs are electrically connected to the STP
cable shield by conductive tape or comparable means.
• Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network
switches in a Dante network.
Although power management should be negotiated
automatically in switches that support EEE, some
switches do not perform the negotiation properly. This
may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when
it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization
performance and occasional dropouts.
Therefore we strongly recommend that:
- If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow
EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled
on all ports used for real-time Dante traffic.
- If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not
use network switches that support the EEE function,
since EEE operation cannot be disabled in these
switches.
* EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that
reduces switch power consumption during periods of
low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet
and IEEE802.3az.
B[LINK/ACT]
These indicators show the communication status of the
[PRIMARY] and [SECONDARY] respectively.
If the Ethernet cables are connected properly, the
indicators will flash rapidly.
C[1G]
These indicators light when the Dante network is
functioning as Giga-bit Ethernet.
D[USB TO HOST]
This is a USB Type-C (USB2.0) connector.
By connecting a computer here via a USB cable, the
console can function as an up to 18-in/18-out,
96 kHz/32-bit or 48 kHz/32-bit audio interface. It also
enables you to use USB-MIDI to control any DM7-series
unit and remotely control DAW software.
You must install the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver to
communicate with the computer. For more information,
refer to the DM7 series Reference Manual.
ENetwork connector
This RJ-45 connector allows the unit to be connected to
a computer via an Ethernet cable (CAT5 or higher
recommended).
You can control the unit from supported application
software, such as DM7 Editor.
NOTE
Use STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to prevent
electromagnetic interference.
FGrounding screw
Each supplied power cord features a three-prong plug.
If the AC outlets are grounded, this product will be
properly grounded through the power cords. Also,
grounding this screw may effectively eliminate noise
such as hum and interference.
NOTICE
• Use USB cables less than three (3) meters long.
• Leave an interval of at least six (6) seconds between
plugging and unplugging the USB cable.

Installing the Rack Mount Kit (DM7 COMPACT)
You can attach the separately-sold RK1 Rack Mount Kit to
the DM7 COMPACT and mount the unit in a rack or in an
installed system.
1. Make sure that the power is turned off.
2. Remove screws (A) on the side pads to
detach the pads.
NOTE
Keep the side pad screws together with the pads you
removed.
3. Use the screws included in the RK1 package
to install the hardware.
Tighten the screws at three locations as indicated by
the arrows in the illustration below.
4. Attach the hardware to the other side in the
same way.
Precautions for rack mounting
Operation of this device is guaranteed within a temperature
range of 0 to 40°C. If you mount this unit along with other
equipment in an EIA standard rack, the heat from each
device will raise the temperature inside the rack, which may
prevent the unit from achieving full performance. When rack
mounting the unit, always observe the following
requirements to avoid heat buildup:
• Be sure to leave at least 14U space (excluding the space
for cable connections) around the unit.
• When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as
power amplifiers that tend to generate a significant
amount of heat, leave a sufficient space between this unit
and other equipment. Also, ensure sufficient ventilation
by installing a ventilation panel in these spaces, or simply
leave the open spaces uncovered.
• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack
open and position it at least 10 cm from walls, ceilings or
other surfaces. If the rear of the rack cannot be left open,
install a commercially-available fan kit or similar forced
system to secure sufficient airflow. If you have installed a
fan kit, there may be cases in which closing the rear of the
rack will produce a greater cooling effect. For more
information, refer to the instruction manuals for the rack
and fan kit.
CAUTION
When attaching the RK1 Rack Mount Kit, you must
turn off the power switches on the unit and use the
screws that are included in the RK1 package.
Otherwise, component failure or electric shock may
occur.
