Roland VS-2000 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/VS8F-3.
• 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/VS8F-3.
• 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/VS8F-3 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-2000'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/VS8F-3 effect expansion board, remove only the specified
screws.
Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the VS-2000.
Re-attach the VS-2000'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.
