INSTALLATION PROCEDURE: MSM-1 into the ATTAX PREAMP
The ATTAX and the MSM-1 MIDI SWITCHING MODULE are electronic devices that operate on AC power. If
you are not qualified to install the MSM-1, you are risking a potentially life-threatening electric shock. Do
yourself a favor and ensure you leave the installation to an authorized dealer only, both a safety and a
warranty requirement. It takes just a few minutes, and it is well worth waiting for.
Proceed as follows:
Switch the ATTAX off.
Remove the AC mains power cord from the back of the unit.
Remove the four screws from rear panel cover plate and then remove the cover plate.
Remove the screws from the top of the chassis.
Lift the chassis cover off.
Insert the MSM-1 in the module chamber and fasten it to the chassis using the four screws. Ensure the
electronic components and the module inscriptions are facing up.
Connect the MSM-1 to the ATTAX by carefully plugging the ribbon cable's connectors to the
appropriate socket. Note the markings on the connectors and ensure they face the grooved portion of
the socket when you plug the connectors in.
