Replacing The Internal Hard Disk - Yamaha Tyros3 Owner's Manual

Replacing the Internal Hard Disk

If the factory-installed hard disk crashes or when you want to replace it with another one (for example, one you
have used on the Tyros/Tyros2), you can remove the current one and install the new one by following the pro-
cedure below. The hard disk used must be a 2.5-inch P-ATA (parallel ATA) compatible; however, not all such
drives may be installable.
WARNING
• Before beginning, switch off the power to the Tyros3 and con-
nected peripherals, and unplug them from the power outlet.
Then remove all cables connecting the Tyros3 to other devices.
(Leaving the power cord connected while working can result in
electric shock. Leaving other cables connected can interfere with
work.)
• Be careful not to drop any screws inside the instrument. If this
does happen, be sure to remove the screw(s) from inside the unit
before turning the power on. Loose screws inside the instrument
can cause improper operation or serious damage. If you are
unable to retrieve a dropped screw, consult your Yamaha dealer
for advice.
• Install the hard disk units carefully as described in the procedure
below. Improper installation can cause shorts which may result
in irreparable damage and pose a fire hazard.
• Do not disassemble, modify, or apply excessive force to board
areas and connectors on hard disk units. Bending or tampering
with boards and connectors may lead to electric shock, fire, or
equipment failures.
Before following the steps below, make sure you have an appropriate hard disk drive and a Phillips screwdriver.
1
Turn the Tyros3's power off, disconnect any cables including
AC power cord from the keyboard.
Also make sure to close the LCD panel and disconnect a USB device from the
USB TO DEVICE terminal.
2
Turn the Tyros3 face down on a blanket or some
soft surface, giving you direct access to the bot-
tom of the instrument.
3
Remove the three screws.
4
Pull out the hard disk bracket.

CAUTION
• Before removing the installed hard disk unit, make sure to backup any necessary
data on the disk to computer by using the USB Storage Mode (page 97). This will pre-
vent loss of important data and enable you to use the data on the new hard disk. (If
you need to backup the recorded audio files, save the hidden folder "HDR.ROOT" to
the computer.)
• It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your hands from metallic projec-
tions on hard disk units and other components. Touching leads or connectors with
bare hands may cause finger cuts, and may also result in poor electrical contact or
electrostatic damage.
• Handle the hard disk unit with care. Dropping or subjecting them to any kind of shock
may cause damage or result in a malfunction.
• Be careful of static electricity. Static electricity discharge can damage the IC chips
on the hard disk or the instrument. Before you handle the hard disk, to reduce the
possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts other than the painted area or a
ground wire on the devices that are grounded.
• Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit board. Touching these parts may
result in a faulty contact.
• Be careful not to misplace any of the screws since all of them are used.
• Do not use any screws other than what are installed on the instrument.
NOTE
• Hard disk drives thicker than 12.7 mm cannot be installed to the Tyros3.
• S-ATA compatible hard disks cannot be used.
