•In a humid or dusty environment
•In a room with poor ventilation
•On a surface that is not level
•Inside a moving vehicle where it will be subject to vibration
•In an extremely hot or cold environment
Removable drives warning
Removal of the hot-swappable hard drives allows access to pins and traces supplying power to
the hard drive back plane. This is considered an energy hazard. Removal of the hard drives must
be performed by a trained service specialist or by trained personnel.
The equipment may be used only in a restricted access area that is not accessible to the general

Dolby IMS3000 overview
Dolby IMS3000 Userʼs Manual
10 December 2018 IMS.OM.005280.DRM Issue 4 14

2.14 USB ports
The Dolby IMS3000 front panel has three USB ports that can accommodate an external USB
device, such as the CaptiView Transmitter, or a USB external drive for content ingestion.
The Dolby IMS3000 supports USB 3.0 for ingesting content at much higher speeds than USB
2.0. In some situations, a USB 3.0 drive may be detected as USB 2.0. This prevents you from
ingesting content at the highest speed possible. Make sure that you are using a good quality
cable.
You can identify a USB 3.0 cable by looking at the connector ends. USB 3.0 cables have blue
connectors.
If the cable is plugged into the Dolby IMS3000 slowly, the USB 2.0 pins are detected first and
the drive is mounted using the slower 2.0 settings. If a prompt appears that says This device
could perform faster, this indicates that the USB 3.0 drive was detected as USB 2.0. In such a
case, try to re-seat the connection.
