Attention!
This console contains static sensitive devices:
Normal precautions against static discharge should be observed when
handling individual modules. In particular, modules being packed for shipping
for return or repair must be packed in special static protection bags before
packaging. Damage caused by static discharge may not be covered under
warranty.
Replacing Modules in a Powered-up Console:
While in an emergency situation it is possible to remove and insert modules
on a powered-up console, Auditronics does not recommend this procedure.
Whenever possible it is best to power down the console first before removing
or replacing modules.
However, if you find you must proceed with this operation, then be sure to
take the following precaution:
When re-inserting a module, take care to replug it squarely into its
mainframe connector socket, so all edgecard fingers make contact
simultaneously. In other words, the gold-plated bus connector fingers on the
bottom edge of the module's printed circuit board must be inserted squarely
(i.e., perpendicular) to the mating socket on the bottom pan of the console
mainframe. The intent is to prevent a situation where one of the module's
power pins makes significant contact before the others. (Naturally, this
same precaution must be taken when using extenders.)
If the above instructions are followed the procedure should be routine; if they
are not, you could run the risk of damaging the console's logic chips.
Again, to avoid ANY possibility of this damage, whenever possible we
strongly recommend powering down the console before replacing any modules.
