Installing The Wave Expansion Board; Cautions When Installing An Wave Expansion Board; Installing Srx Series Boards - Roland RD-700GX Owner's Manual

Installing the Wave Expansion Board

Up to two optional Wave Expansion Boards (SRX Series) can
be installed in the RD-700GX.
Wave Expansion Boards store Wave data, Patches, and
Rhythm Sets, and by equipping the RD-700GX with these
boards, you can greatly expand your sound palette.
For more information about the wave expansion board tones,
refer to the patch list included with the wave expansion board.
However, some of the tone names may be displayed
differently on the RD-700GX. Check 40page as you refer to
the tone names.
Cautions When Installing an Wave
Expansion Board
901
• 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.
1
• 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.
2
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges.
Avoid touching any of the electronic components or
connectors.
• Use a Philips 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 RD-700GX.
• Do not leave the rear panel cover removed. After
installation of the Wave Expansion Boards is complete, be
sure to replace the cover.
911
• Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or
connection terminals.
912
• 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.
913
• When circuit board installation is complete, double-check
your work.
914
• Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before
attempting installation of the circuit board.
