Card Removal and Replacement

Removing an I/O Card

In the event of a problem with the A/D or D/A
cards in your 96 I/O, you can remove the card
and send it to Digidesign for repair.
The modular nature of the HD system allows
you to simply return the specific card, instead of
the entire 96 I/O. Your HD system will continue
to function while missing a single card. It will
not function if more than one of the factory-in-
stalled cards is removed.
Before handling any of the cards or internal
components of 96 I/O, discharge any static
electricity by touching the outer casing of the
power supply.
To remove an I/O card from the 96 I/O:
Power off and disconnect the 96 I/O from
1
your HD system.
Make sure that the 96 I/O is plugged in so that
2
it is grounded.
Remove all of the 16 small phillips-head
3
screws around the edges of the top cover. Don't
lose the screws -- put them in a safe place!
Removing the top cover screws
Lift off the top of the 96 I/O and set aside.
4
Gently pull the 50-pin connector off of the
5
edge of the card.
