5. Installing the TCO-HDSP
Before installing the TCO card, please make sure the computer is switched off and the
power cable is disconnected from the mains supply.
1. Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from the computer.
2. Remove the computer's housing. Further information on how to do this can be obtained
from your computer´s instruction manual.
3. Before removing the TCO from its protective bag, discharge any static in your body by
touching the metal chassis of the PC.
4. Connect the TCO with the PCI card using the supplied flat ribbon cable. For this, plug one
end of the cable into the matching connector of the PCI card. On the AES-32 the connector
is labeled Synchronizer Board , on the 9632 the TCO replaces the Wordclock Module .
Plug the other end into the connector X101 on the TCO.
5. Insert the TCO into a free PCI slot and fasten the screw. The TCO needs no slot on the
motherboard, but includes a stabilizing edge, which fits in both PCI and ISA slots.
6. Insert the PCI card firmly into a free PCI slot, press and fasten the screw.
7. Replace the computer's housing.
8. Reconnect all cables including the power cord.
6. Installing the TCO-FF
To install the TCO the Fireface 800 must be opened. If you feel unsecure to do so please con-
sult a technician and let him show you how to do it. Else please follow the instructions below
step by step.
Before installing the TCO, please make sure the Fireface 800 is switched off and the power
cable is disconnected from the mains supply.
1. Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from the Fireface 800.
2.
Loosen and remove both rack ears (two screws each).
3.
Use a screwdriver (Phillips 1) to remove the 3 screws on the cover near the back panel, and
2 screws on each side of the Fireface 800, so that the cover can be taken off by sliding it to the
rear.
4.
Remove the TCO spare plate within the rear panel (2 screws).
5. Before removing the TCO from its protective bag, discharge any static in your body by touch-
ing the metal chassis of the Fireface.
6. Slide the TCO into the rear panel's hole from the inside. Watch the correct position, so that
both screws found in the PCB of the TCO do not press on the TRS jacks, but are placed in-
between those.
7. Fasten the TCO with the two black self-tapping screws from the TCO screw set. Do not use
the screws of the spare plate, as these are thread screws.
