Handling and Installation of Options
WARNING
• Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the RS7000 and connected peripherals, and unplug them
from the power outlet. Then remove all cables connecting the RS7000 to other devices. (Leaving the power cord
connected while working can result in electric shock. Leaving other cables connected can interfere with work.)
• Do not disassemble, modify, or apply excessive force to board areas and connectors on the option board and
SIMMs. Bending or tampering with boards and connectors may lead to electric shock, fire, or equipment
failures.
CAUTION
• Before handling an option board or SIMM, you should briefly touch the RS7000 metal casing (or other such
metallic area) with your bare hand so as to drain off any static charge from your body. Note that even a slight
amount of electrostatic discharge may cause damage to these components.
• It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your hands from metallic projections on the RS7000, SIMMs,
an option board, 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.
• Take care to avoid dropping screws into the RS7000 unit. If a screw does fall in, be sure to remove it before you
reassemble and power up the unit. Starting the unit with a loose screw inside may lead to improper operation or
equipment failure. (If you are unable to retrieve a dropped screw, consult your Yamaha dealer for advice.)
* Consult your Yamaha dealer if you have any questions regarding installation procedures for the option board or SIMMs.
* If SIMM memory fails to work properly, consult the item's dealer for advice.
