Replacing the MTS
9
To disconnect the Backlight and Touch-controller cables:
1
Leaving it connected to the MTS, disconnect the other end of the Backlight cable by doing the following:
• Making note of the location of its port, disconnect the other end of the Backlight cable from its connection to the GPIO board.
This cable (7070-30576-00) is connected to port J12 on the GPIO board.
2
Leaving it connected to the MTS, disconnect the other end of the Touch-controller cable by doing the following:
• Making note of the location of its port, disconnect the other end of the Touch-controller cable from the SBC motherboard. This
cable (7070-30616-01) is connected to port USB2_9 on Portwell SBCs, port X16 (lower row of pins) on Congatec SBCs, or
port P24L on Emerson SBCs (refer to
To identify which type of SBC you have:
Portwell (2022 and later control surfaces)
The SBC heat sink is mounted closer to the center of the board. In addition, some
ports are labeled with text and numbers (such as “USB2_9”), and some by port designation (such as “J1”).
Congatec (2019 and later control surfaces)
The SBC heat sink is mounted closer to the back of the control surface. Some units
included a purple plastic shroud, most units did not.
Emerson (2015 and later control surfaces)
SBC the heat sink is closer to the front (operator side) of the control surface. All
units included a plastic shroud.

After disconnecting the cables, use a 9/32 nut driver to remove the screw that secures the LVDS cable to the MTS.

You can now remove the old MTS, pulling the old power and Touch-controller cables out at the same time (make sure cables are
free of any obstructions).
