The foregoing is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied,
and dbx neither assumes nor authorizes any person to assume on its
behalf any obligation or liability in connection with the sale of this
product. In no event shall dbx or its dealers be liable for special or
consequential damages or from any delay in the performance of this
warranty due to causes beyond their control.

To install the dbx 504X Digital Output Card in a dbx 1086, follow these
instructions:

1.

Disconnect all power and audio cables to the 1086.

2.

Remove the top cover by removing the 2 screws on each side of the
1086.

3.

Locate the option slot on the rear panel and remove the 4 screws and
cover plate.

4.

Holding the cards by the edges, remove the 504X cards from the stat-
ic protective bags.

5.

Locate the 4 pin jumper next to the board-to-board connector on the
top board. Move the jumper to the "10 Series" position if it already isn’t
there. See Fig. 3 on page 6 for location of jumper.

6.

The card with the rear plate and interface jacks will be installed first. 

A. From the inside of the 1086, place the card so that the holes on

the card line up with the threaded standoffs in the chassis bottom.

B. Start, but do not tighten, the two hex male-female threaded stand-

offs (included with the card) through the holes in the card into the
threaded standoffs in the chassis.

C. Use the 4 screws that held the blank cover on the 1086 to secure

the 504X plate to the chassis. Start all four screws before tighten-
ing them completely.

D. Tighten the 2 standoffs on the card.
E. Carefully install the 10 pin cable (noting polarity) from the 1086

main PCB to the 504X.
