Step 5: Re-Installing the TPI/4 Outer Housing
1.
Slide this previously removed cover gently back towards the rear of the unit until the housing is
flush with the rear connectors.
2. Carefully install the housing by screwing-in the four flat Phillips-head screws into both sides of the
TPI/4 outer housing (2 per side as seen in FIG. 9) and the three flat Phillips-head screws into the
openings along the rear-underside of the unit.
3.
Screw-in the two connector bolts (four total) to each side of both the TOUCH INPUT and VGA
OUTPUT connectors.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN .
4.
Carefully insert and screw-in the grounding bolt to the rear of the TPI/4 unit.
5.
Reinstall any blank input card covers to their desired locations.
The internal circuit board must not be exposed. DO NOT LEAVE ANY OPEN GAPS IN THE
HOUSING.
Step 6: Re-Installing TP4 Input Cards
1.
Detach all connectors from the TPI/4 unit.
2.
Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object or the
grounding bolt shown in FIG. 9.
3. If there are any input card covers present on the unit, follow the steps outlined in the Step 1:
Removing Input Card Covers section on page 10 to safely remove any pre-installed blank input card
covers, as shown below in FIG. 9.
4.
Carefully remove the input cards from their static-free bag and note the location of the
accompanying four Phillips-head screws (used in securing the card to the housing).
5.
Carefully align the male pins (on the card) and female (on the TPI/4 circuit board) connector.
6.
Connect the input card by inserting the male pins vertically down onto the female input connectors
on the motherboard, as shown in FIG. 9.
When installing the TPI/4 housing, verify the EMI gasket (FIG. 6 on page 11) remains
flush against the rear of the housing. This gasket (and its corresponding location) is
necessary to maintain FCC compliance.
Always power down the unit before attempting to remove or install input modules.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the TPI/4 and input cards.
Do not to allow the input cards to fall through the housing and onto the circuit board
during the installation process.
