AO16 Analog Output Card

6

Installing in Stage 48

Stage 48 has three slots that accept Stage I/O cards. I/O cards 
are connected to pre-installed 50-pin ribbon cables located in-
side Stage 48.

I/O cards can be installed in any slot of Stage 48, in any order. 
If you are installing a combination of input and output cards, 
however, it is recommended that you install input cards above 
output cards.

It is recommended that you install cards in Stage 48 starting 
with the top slot. If you are installing a combination of input 
and output cards in one Stage 48, it is recommended that you 
install input cards above output cards.

To install I/O cards in Stage 48:

1  

Power down Stage 48.

2  

Remove power and audio cables from Stage 48.

3  

On the front panel of Stage 48, locate the slots which you 

want to install I/O cards into, and remove the card slot covers.

4  

Remove the ten back panel mounting screws. 

5  

Carefully pull the panel partially away from the rack, making 

sure not to damage the fan cable attached to the back panel.

6  

Disconnect the fan cable before removing the panel entirely. 

Set the panel aside.

7  

Locate the included extenders.

8  

For each output card you are installing, use two extenders 

and two of the included Phillips head screws to attach the ex-
tenders to the back of the card. Orient the extenders so that the 
long side of the extenders lay flat.

9  

For each I/O card you are installing, hold the card by its 

edges and gently slide the card into the slot.
