LUMIN L2

LUMIN L2 SSD Installation

LUMIN L2 can be supplied with or without SSD drives pre-installed.

They can be installed or replaced at any time without a requirement to include any system files on the disks. Disks should be installed in identical pairs.

The specification is:

  • 2.5” SATA III SSD
  • Single partition only
  • Identical pair

Please don’t undertake this task if you are not comfortable working on the internals of audio equipment or computers. If in doubt, contact your local LUMIN dealer for help.

warning-shockWarning: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not remove the cover to the LUMIN Switching Power Supply (SPS) under any circumstance. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.
