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 Pro Tools|HD system
lets you return the specific card instead of the
entire 96 I/O. Your Pro Tools|HD system will
continue to function while missing a single
card. It will not function if more than one of the
factory-installed 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 Pro Tools|HD system.
Make sure that the 96 I/O AC cord remains
2
plugged in so that it is grounded.
Remove all of the 16 small phillips-head
3
screws around the edges of the top cover. Keep
the screws (you will need them to re-attach the
top cover).
Removing the top cover screws
Lift off the top of the 96 I/O and set it aside.
4
Gently disconnect the 50-pin connector from
5
the edge of the card.
