Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion

Converting your cabinet consists of the primary steps listed below. Exact steps may vary
depending on your cabinet.

Upgrade Steps

•

Clean and Prepare your Cabinet:

Remove all graphics and labels, tournament header,

and card reader, and clean the cabinet (page 6).

•

Install the New Monitor:

Do this if you purchased the monitor upgrade kit with the 27-

inch monitor (page 10). Otherwise, you will install the Universal Video Converter
(UVC) card to adapt the existing monitor to work with the new hardware.

•

Install the Fan and Drill Ventilation Holes:

Improve cabinet cooling to accommodate

the new computer (page 13).

•

Set Up the Hardware:

Install the new computer, UGCI Board, Jamma Conversion

Board, and UVC (if used) and make all connections (page 17).

•

Upgrade the Control Panel:

Upgrade your control panel with the new controls and

artwork (page 22).

•

Apply the Cabinet Graphics:

Install the new cabinet graphics and labels (page 27).

Clean and Prepare the Cabinet

GLOBAL VR

®

requires that all converted cabinets meet the guidelines for finished cabinet

artwork described in this instruction manual.

You must remove all previous artwork, serial numbers, and labels from the cabinet before
installing the gvrSX™ artwork. Make sure the new cabinet artwork is setup as instructed in
this manual. Clean the cabinet well so that the new graphics will adhere properly.
