The DAX/2 System – Version 8.0.5
7
1 Introduction and setup
If you purchased a
complete unit
, either from Nanite Systems or a reseller:
1.
Unbox the unit carefully. Be sure to clear any packing material from the air intakes and battery storage components.
Tip
: Use a leaf blower or hair dryer to ensure any smaller pieces of Styrofoam packing material are completely ex-
punged from these components.
2.
Follow the instructions on the following page to insert the battery.
3.
Power the unit on by pressing on the ring surrounding the battery access hatch.
If you purchased
only a controller and have an existing chassis
or organic system to install it onto:
A.
If the host chassis is
synthetic
or has
previously hosted a standard back-mounted controller
:
1.
Connect the controller to the mounting bracket using the instructions provided with the mounting bracket.
2.
Connect the power feeds to the unit’s onboard processing systems (if supported) and motor systems. The
DAX/2 controller provides both 12 V and 5 V rails, identified by the use of pink and blue wires, respectively.
WARNING
: Improper power connections may seriously damage both the unit and the controller. If you are
unsure of your unit’s configuration, consult a manufacturer.
3.
Secure the controller. Depending on the manufacturer of the bracket, anywhere from 10-25 magnetic safety
bolts may be required to ensure a secure connection.
B.
If the host chassis is
organic and has never been connected to a control system
:
1.
Apply the included contact gel to the back of the unit.
2.
Install the battery into the controller according to the instructions on the following page.
3.
Place the controller against the upper back, ensuring as even contact across the surface as possible.
4.
Power on the controller. The nanites in the contact gel will begin internal conversion of the organic system
to the extent required.
C.
If the host chassis has been
connected to a non-standard back-mounted controller, or has been using a
non-back-mounted control system
, consult the manufacturer of the previous control system. Do not attempt to
use the force nanite-based connection initiation, as undefined behavior may occur, resulting in permanent damage
to both the controller and the host unit.
Reminder
: The controller can only be removed from the chassis when it is powered down and the safety bolts are disen-
gaged. Attempting to remove the controller while power is engaged may cause serious damage to both the unit and the con-
troller. Depending on the software installed on the device, the bolts may automatically disengage when the unit is powered
down.
