Replacing a Driver
If the driver status indicators do not appear to be working correctly, it may be necessary
to replace the driver.
1�
Open the front panel as described in
Component Locations and Access (p� 13)
2�
Disconnect all plugs from the driver by squeezing the locking tabs together and
pulling the connectors free. It may be helpful to label the cables to know which plug
goes to which jack when connecting the replacement driver.
3�
Remove the nuts securing the driver to the inside of the display.
4�
Carefully lift the driver from the display and place it on a clean, flat surface.
5�
Position a new driver over the screws and tighten the nuts.
6�
Reconnect all plugs to their mating jacks on the driver. The connectors are keyed
and will attach in one way only. Do not force the connections.
7�
Ensure the new driver is set to the correct address. This will be the same address of the
old driver being replaced. Refer to
Setting the Driver Address (p� 15)
.
8�
Securely close the front panel, and then power up and test the display to verify the
issue has been resolved.
