HPA-DAC8 Card Installation 

Note:

 Accessory card installation must be done by a qualified technician.

1.  Remove the HPA amplifier from the AC mains source. 

Note:

 In standby mode there are  

  DC voltages present. The HPA amp must be removed from the AC mains source in  
  order to prevent damage to the card or amplifier.
2.  Remove the two screws (M3 x 8mm Pan Head Black) holding the HPA accessory blank  
 panel.
3.  Remove the ribbon cables from the cover.
4.  Connect the accessory card to the ribbon cables 1 and 2 by carefully aligning the  
  ribbon cable connector to the mating PCB connector. Do not force. If aligned correctly  
  the cable will mate easily.
5.  Carefully guide the accessory card into the slot without forcing the PCB or cable.
6.  After the card is inserted and the accessory panel is flush to the chassis, align the two  
  screw holes and secure them together by inserting two M3 x 8mm screws.
