Components
The PA PowerStation is designed to be a simple yet reliable unit to
maintain. However, if you need to purchase replacement components
for the PowerStation, CTC carries a complete line of replacement
components.
CompactFlash Card
If you need additional storage capacity for the PA PowerStation, you
can purchase additional Compact Flash cards from CTC. CTC
recommends that you purchase at least one additional flash card to
serve as a backup for your primary CF. See Using the Compact Flash
Card on page 47 for instructions on how to replace and reformat CF
cards.
SDRAM
If you need to upgrade or replace the PA PowerStation’s SDRAM,
CTC carries replacement SDRAM (SODIMM). The PA PowerStation
comes with a 32MB 144-pin SODIMM for SDRAM, but you can
replace that module with a 64MB or 128MB 144-pin SDRAM for
greater capacity. To replace the SDRAM, see Replacing the SDRAM
on page 61.
Note
16M of the SDRAM is used for video memory. The amount of
memory reported is the size of the SDRAM minus 16M. For
example, if you have 32M of SDRAM, only 16M is reported.
Both PC100 and PC133 speeds are supported. A jumper must be set to
match the speed of the version that you purchased.
Touchscreen
Occasionally, you may find that you need to replace the PA
PowerStation’s touchscreen, depending upon the environment in
which you are operating the PowerStation. Replacement kits for the
10" model are available through CTC. The 10" model is the only
model that has a field-replaceable Touchscreen kit. See Customer
Support Services on page 5 to order the kit.
Backlight Bulb
You may replace the backlight bulb on the 7.7" and 10" PA
PowerStation monitors. You cannot replace the backlight bulb on the
5", 6", and 8" monitors.
You can also send the PowerStation to CTC’s repair center. See
Customer Support Services on page 5.
Replaceable Fuse
The PA PowerStation has a protective fuse that can be replaced by
qualified personnel. See Replacing the Fuse on page 41 for complete
instructions.
