Control Surface
Replacing a Panel
Each control surface panel is individually hot-pluggable enabling panels to be replaced without affecting the rest of
the system.
Channel bays are fitted with one 16-fader panel per bay. The centre section is fitted with one central panel
connecting to two circuit boards.
Ø
To replace a panel:
1. Remove the panel screws (along the front buffer) using a T20 Torx driver:
You should remove the screws completely and place them carefully to one side, so that they do not fall into the
frame when the panel is lifted. The springs beneath the panel will raise it slightly from the frame.
2. Gently lift the panel using your fingers:
If you are lifting the central panel to gain access to the components beneath, then use the Hood Fastener to
keep the panel in place while you work.
