PAC 216 Upgrade Installation

Introduction

These instructions show you how to install a daughter card in a PAC208
Analog/Digital Interface to upgrade it to a PAC216, providing an additional eight
channels of audio, for a total of 16. The PAC208 is housed in a PAC200 Audio
Chassis and is identified by a model/serial number sticker on the side of the unit.
By installing the daughter card in the PAC200 Audio Chassis and attaching the
PAC XLR Breakout Panel, the audio chassis is upgraded from a PAC208 to a
PAC216. The audio chassis is attached to an Audio Signal Processing Board
(ASPB) in your Profile disk rec order via an ASPB cable wi th an 80-pin c onnect or.

NOTE: These instructions assume that you alre ady have a PAC208.

The instructions include procedures for:

• Opening the PAC200 Audio Chassis.

• Installing bracke ts for the new daughter card.

• Installing the new daughte r card.

• Closing the PAC200 Audio Chassis.

• Connecting the PAC XLR Breakout Panel.

• Verifying that the insta lled board is functioning correctly.

System Requirements

The Profile syste m software installed in the Profile system must be ver sion 2.1 or
higher. To check the software version installed in your Profile system, open the
VrdPanel application and choose
listed in the Product Version field in the displayed window.

Installation Procedures

The procedures that follow take you step-by-step through the installation of the
upgrade. You can install the daughter card with the unit’s chassis fully extended
on the rack slides if th e equipment rac k is adequately mo unted to pr event tipping,
and if there is suffic ient slack in the cable s connected to the rear panel to allow the
chassis to fully extend on the slides.

If it is necessary for you to remove the PAC200 Audio Chassis from the
equipment rack to perform this installation, refer to the Profile system’s
installation manual for instructions.

WARNING: Unless the eq uip m ent rac k is adeq uat ely a nch o r ed, th e rac k

could tip when the chassis is extended on the rack slides. To avoid possible
injury, make sure t he rack is fi rmly anchored before extending the chassi s on
the rack slides.
