total of four stereo effects, or 8 mono effects.

Before turning the VS-2400CD upside-down to install a VS8F-2, obtain some
newspapers or magazines and place them under the four corners of the VS-2400CD—or
at both ends—to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Position the VS-2400CD
carefully to avoid scratching or damaging it.
Roland VS-2400CD Owner's Manual
To avoid damaging internal components as a result of static electricity, please
carefully observe the following precautions whenever you handle a VS8F-2.
• Before you touch the board, always first touch a metal object—such as a water
pipe—so you're sure any static electricity you may have been carrying is
discharged before you touch the VS8F-2.
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of its
electronic components or connectors.
• Save the bag in which the VS8F-2 was shipped, and put the board back into the
bag should you need to store or transport the board.
Use the correct Phillips screwdriver—a Number 2 screwdriver—for the size of the
VS-2400CD's screws. The head of the screw may become stripped if you use the
wrong screwdriver.
To remove a screw, turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten a screw, turn
the screwdriver clockwise.
Loosen
When installing a VS8F-2 effect expansion board, remove only the specified screws.
Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the
VS-2400CD.
Re-attach the VS-2400CD's bottom cover after the installation—do not leave its
internal components exposed.
Do not touch any printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.
Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the installation bay.
Never use excessive force when installing a VS8F-2. If it doesn't fit properly on the
first attempt, remove the board, re-position it and try again.
When the VS8F-2 installation is complete, double-check your work before replacing
the VS-2400CD's bottom cover.
