Chapter 1 Getting Started; Installing Expansion Cards - Sony DMX-R100 Quick Reference

Installing Expansion Cards

This section details the required procedures when first using the DMX-R100.
The first step is to install the expansion cards.
Note: Expansion cards must be installed in the upper slots (Slots 1 and 3) before slots immediately below them
(Slots 2 and 4) because the lower cover plate overlaps the upper cover plate.
1
Set the POWER switch to OFF.
2
Remove the screws in the cover plates for Slots 1 and 3 (or Slots 2 and 4) and remove the cover plates.
3
After first grounding yourself by touching a piece of metal, carefully remove the expansion card from
packaging, holding it by its handles.
4
Align the card with the slot and gently insert it fully into the slot until fully seated; the outer screw holes
should align.
5
Insert the screws to secure the card.
6
Repeat as required for other slots.
The second step is to make all required analog and digital audio interconnections to the DMX-R100 rear panel
and expansion cards. (See Chapter 1 of the Operating Instructions.) All interconnections should be made with
the POWER switch set to OFF. Also, determine whether you will be using the DMX-R100 as master clock or
synchronizing it to an external word clock or video source and make the appropriate connections. Finally, if you
are using a keyboard, mouse, and/or VGA monitor, connect them to the appropriate rear panel connectors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All loudspeakers must be powered off until you have
verified all master clock source interconnections and settings, as described
on pages 1-3 and 1-4 in this guidebook. Failure to do so may
result in damage to your loudspeakers!
