Chapter 4: Module Replacement and
Upgrade Procedures for Single-Screen
Systems
Introduction
The instructions in this chapter describe how to replace and upgrade various modules in your
MaxPac unit.
Note:
Generally speaking, you should only access the MaxPac internals under the direction of
MaxVision support. In some cases, performing unauthorized procedures or using components that
have not been tested and approved by MaxVision may invalidate your warranty.
Note:
Power-down your MaxPac system (shut down Windows® and then turn the hard power switch
to its Off position) and then remove the power cable before performing any of the procedures
discussed in this chapter. Also please be aware of static discharge when working on your MaxPac. In
General, touch the metal part of the chassis to discharge any static prior to handling any delicate
electronic parts.
Note:
When accessing the system internals and/or performing module upgrade procedures, you are
quickly going to end up with a lot of screws and other small items. In order to keep track of things and
to prevent misplacing any parts, it is strongly recommended to have a plastic container divided into
small compartments and to label these compartments as you work.
Required Tools and Techniques
Most of the module replacement and upgrade procedures discussed in this chapter can be performed
using only a pair of #1 (small tip) and #2 (regular tip) Phillips screwdrivers. However, some
procedures will require additional tools as discussed in
Appendix C
.
Note:
It is extremely important that you use only high-quality tools so as to avoid any slippage and
stripping of screw heads and threads. Furthermore, in order to avoid any slippage, it is VERY
important to apply adequate force in the form of
firm and steady pressure
. See
Appendix C
for
details on the tools required to service the system.
Note:
It is highly recommended that you use magnetized screwdrivers so as to prevent screws from
dropping inside the case and/or aiding in retrieving them if they do drop inside the case. (If your
screwdriver isn’t already magnetized, you can make it so by repeatedly “stroking” the blade with a
permanent magnet.
Names and Types of Screws
MaxPac X-Class systems use a variety of different screw types. In order to help you follow the
instructions in this chapter, details on these screws are provided in
Appendix C
.
