Before you use the VS8F-3
■ Recovering your projects
Restore the data that you had backed up in Backing up your projects (p. 6) back onto the
hard disk (Project Recovery).
Refer to the owner's manual of your VS series device, and restore your projects back onto
the hard disk.
Projects and backup data you created before updating the system will still be usable in
their existing form. (Data compatibility is preserved.)
Installing the VS8F-3
Installation of the VS8F-3 is exactly the same as installing the VS8F-2. Refer to the Quick
Start manual for your VS series device and to Rules for installing effect expansion
boards (p. 9), and install the VS8F-3 as directed.
Before you continue, you must read Using the SETUP DISC to update the system
version (p. 7) and complete the system program update for your VS series device.
■ Cautions When Installing an Effect Expansion Board
•
Before installing the effect expansion board, turn off the power of the VS series device
and all connected devices, and disconnect all cables from the VS series device.
•
When installing effect expansion boards, remove only the specified screws.
•
Should you remove screws, make sure to put them in a safe place out of children's
reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.
•
When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and
place them under the four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons
and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get
damaged.
•
To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static
electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you handle the board.
• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water
pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have been carrying
has been discharged.
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of the
electronic components or connectors.
• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board back
into it whenever you need to store or transport it.
•
Use a Phillips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw (a number 2
screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screw may be
stripped.
•
To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten a screw,
rotate the screwdriver clockwise.
•
Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the VS series.
•
Do not leave the bottom cover in a detached state. Be sure to reattach it after the effect
expansion boards have been installed.
•
Do not touch any of the 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 circuit board. If it doesn't fit properly on
the first attempt, remove the board and try again.
•
When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work.
