Setting Up And Connection - Roland DPX-3700A User Manual

3 Setting Up and Connection

Setting Up
• Never install this unit in any of the following places, as it could result in damage:
Places with excessive electrical noise.
Places with excessive vibration.
• Do not allow the main unit to be dropped or subjected to strong shocks.
Use the DPX with the optional stand tilted upright (45°), or use the DPX on a flat surface.
For assembling an optional stand, see the assembly manual of the optional stand.
• Assembly and tilting of the optional stand must always be carried out by at least two persons. When tilting
the optional stand, be very careful to avoid pinching your fingers.
• If the installation angle of the DPX has been changed after switching on the power, turn the DPX off and
then on again.
Connection
• Always use a power supply with ±10% of the rated voltage.
• Always turn off the power to both the computer and the DPX before connecting or disconnecting cables.
• Cable are available as accessory items. Use only one which matches model of computer you use.
• Never connect or disconnect cables or power cords during operation, and make sure that all connections are secure.
Use the provided power cord to connect the DPX and the power receptacle.
Parallel connection
Use the parallel interface cable to connect the parallel connector on the rear of the DPX with the parallel connector
on the host computer. Secure the connectors in place with the lock pins on each end.
Serial connection
Use the serial interface cable to connect the serial connector on the rear of the DPX with the RS-232C connector on
the host computer. Secure the connectors in place with the bolts provided on each end.
After its power has been switched on, the DPX can automatically determine and store in memory the type of
interface used (and also the communication parameters, if a serial connection is used) according to the data that is
downloaded from the computer. This means that there is no need to make these settings on the DPX for the type of
interface (or for the communication parameters, if a serial connection is used).
If you want to change the type of interface being used, you must first turn off the power to the computer and the
DPX, change the cable connections, and then again switch on the power to the computer and the DPX.
