The optionally available mLAN expansion board (mLAN16E2) can be installed to the MOTIF-RACK XS. By installing an mLAN16E2
board, you can upgrade your MOTIF-RACK XS for convenient and easy connection to an IEEE1394-compatible computer.
Installation Precautions
Before installing the optional hardware, make sure you have a
Philips screwdriver and ample space to work.
•
Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the instrument and
connected peripherals, and unplug them from the power outlet. Installation or
removal of any devices should be started ONLY after the instrument (and the
optional hardware) returns to normal room temperature. Then remove all
cables connecting the instrument to other devices. (Leaving the power cord
connected while working can result in electric shock. Leaving other cables
connected can interfere with work.)
•
Be careful not to drop any screws inside the instrument during installation.
(This can be prevented by keeping the optional units and cover away from
the instrument while attaching). If this does happen, be sure to remove the
screw(s) from inside the unit before turning the power on. Loose screws
inside the instrument can cause improper operation or serious damage. If
you are unable to retrieve a dropped screw, consult your Yamaha dealer for
advice.
•
Install the optional units carefully as described in the procedure below.
Improper installation can cause shorts which may result in irreparable
damage and pose a fire hazard.
•
Do not disassemble, modify, or apply excessive force to board areas and
connectors on optional units. Bending or tampering with boards and
connectors may lead to electric shock, fire, or equipment failures.
•
It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your hands from metallic
projections on optional units and other components. Touching leads or
connectors with bare hands may cause finger cuts, and may also result in
poor electrical contact or electrostatic damage.
•
Be careful of static electricity. Static electricity discharge can damage the IC
chips on the mLAN16E2. Before you handle the optional mLAN16E2, to
reduce the possibility of static electricity, touch unpainted metal parts or a
ground wire on the devices that are grounded.
•
Handle the optional units with care. Dropping or subjecting them to any kind
of shock may cause damage or result in a malfunction.
•
Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit board. Touching these
parts may result in a faulty contact.
•
Be careful not to misplace any of the screws.
•
Do not use any screws other than what are installed on the instrument. Use
of incorrect screws can cause damage.
Installing the mLAN16E2
1.
Turn the power of the MOTIF-RACK XS off, and
disconnect the AC power adaptor.
Also, make sure to disconnect the MOTIF-RACK XS from
any connected external devices.
2.
Remove the cover for the mLAN16E2 from the rear
panel.
With the rear panel of this tone generator facing you,
remove the two screws from the cover.
IMPORTANT
Keep the removed screws in a safe place. They will be used
when installing the mLAN16E2. Be careful not to misplace
them. Keep the cover and fixing screws in a safe place for
future use.
After removing the cover, you will see the metal fittings at
the bottom of the opening. To avoid cutting or scraping
your fingers, be careful not to touch them when installing
the mLAN16E2.
3.
Insert the mLAN16E2 along the guide rails.
Push the mLAN16E2 all the way into the slot so that the
terminal at the end of the mLAN16E2 is correctly inserted
into the terminal inside the slot.
4.
Replace the cover with the two screws you removed
in step 2 above.
Malfunctions or incorrect operation may occur if the
mLAN16E2 is not properly fastened.
