...you must back up any user-defined objects that you want to keep: programs, setups, samples,
studios, FX presets, songs, intonation tables, velocity maps—in other words, anything stored in
RAM. All of these user-defined objects will be deleted from your K2661 when you do the hard
reset at the end of the installation procedure. The easiest way to do this is to make an
"Everything" backup; this stores the entire contents of the K2661's RAM to a single file. You can
then reinstall everything in one operation, without having to keep track of individual objects.
Once you begin the installation, you can't go back and do the backup. So if you want to save
your RAM objects, do it before you begin the option installation.

Caution! Protection from Static Electricity
The K2661 and ROM options are sensitive to static electricity. You can seriously damage them if
there's a "spark" between you and any of the circuit boards or option cards. It's important that
you discharge all residual static electricity from your body before beginning the installation. You
should also work on surfaces that won't generate static electricity—for example, don't stand (or
put the K2661) on a rug or carpet.

so a spark between you and the casing will not damage anything.
firmly grasp the K2661 casing again with your other hand. Repeat this step for each option
that you install.
