Plug-in Card Installation

Each SoundStructure device can have one plug-in card installed for a total of eight plug-in cards in a
collection of eight SoundStructure devices. When installing more than one plug-in card in an installation, it
is recommended to use the plug-in slot from the top device first and continue sequentially down through the
collection of devices as additional plug-cards are added.
Do not insert a plug-in card while the SoundStructure is powered on. Failure to
remove power prior to installing the plug-in card may damage the plug-in card
and/or the SoundStructure device.
