connection. Please use only the original hardware components you received with
your Modular Evolution for these connections. Also, please note that the power must
be turned off before installing any hardware components.
2.3.1 Modular Evolution 64
The top face of the Modular Evolution 64 housing includes a recessed keyboard base
with integrated snap-on connections on both the left and right side. Position the
keyboard above the recessed area on the Modular Evolution so that the ridges on the
right and left edge of the base are beneath the sides of the keyboard, which will
extend sideways beyond the base. Lower the front edge of the keyboard first. Once
the front edge has mated evenly with the Modular Evolution, press down the far edge
of the keyboard onto the base. You should feel the keyboard snap into the
connections.
2.3.2 Modular Evolution 88
The top face of the Modular Evolution 88 housing includes a recessed keyboard base
with integrated snap-on connections on both the left and right side. You have the
choice of attaching the keyboard on either the left or the right side. Position the
keyboard above the recessed area on the Modular Evolution so that the ridge on
either the right or left edge of the base is beneath the side of the keyboard, which will
extend sideways beyond the base. Lower the front edge of the keyboard first. Once
the front edge has mated evenly with the Modular Evolution, press down the far edge
of the keyboard onto the base. You should feel the keyboard snap into the
connection.
The same procedure applies to the numbers block. Again, please note that the ridge
on the Modular Evolution must be positioned underneath the edge of the numbers
block, which will extend sideways beyond the base.
2.4 Connecting the Cable
The cable included in your package is used to connect the Modular Evolution both to
the PC as well as to a power outlet. At one end of the cable are the two connectors
that will be plugged into the back of the Modular Evolution. The power plug must be
plugged into the round power outlet on the back of the housing, and the USB plug
into the square USB outlet to the right of the power outlet.
The other end of the cable includes the power supply plug, which may now be
connected to any convenient wall power outlet. When disconnecting your unit, please
unplug the wall plug first and then the plugs on the back of the housing.
The remaining cable connector can be plugged into any free USB port on your PC. If
the Modular Evolution is to be used as a medical device, the PC must conform to all
Medical Device Standards, or else it must have a ground connection or be connected
to an isolating transformer.
When the power is turned on for both the Modular Evolution and the PC, the Modular
Evolution will be recognized automatically by USB-enabled operating systems. If you
