Introduction
Use these instruction s to replace the PDR100 Master Disk Recorder board with the
Master Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) board. The Master EDR board is the
central part of the PDR100 video processing system and includes a high speed
real-time pr oces s or, t wo JPE G co d ecs an d two Ult ra SC SI ch ann e ls.
Grass Valley Group r ecommends removing t he PDR100 from the rack to perfor m
this upgrade. Refer to the PDR100 Installation Manual for instructions on
removing the PDR100 from the rack. Bear in mind that the chassis with a full
complement of disk drives weighs app roximately 70 pounds. Observe the
following warnings:
To prevent injury, two people are required to lift the PDR100. The PDR100

is too heavy for one person to remove from the rack.
To prevent seriou s injury, insure that th e rack is an chored to t he floor so th at
it cannot tip over when the Profile Video File Server is extended out of the
rack.
The Master EDR board upgrade requires Profile system software version 2.2 or
higher. If your Profile system software version is below 2.2, you must upgrade
your software before installing the Master EDR board.
To check Profile system softwar e version:
1. Open the VdrPanel application.
2. Choose
3. Check the Product Version field in the displayed window for a version of
2.2.X or higher and then perform a software upgrade, if required.

attempt to restart the system at the conclusion of the upgrade. Instead,
select “No, I will restart my computer later”, and then shut down and
power Off the system to install the Master EDR board. Attempting to
operate version 2.4 software without the Master EDR board will result
in system errors.

2 PDR100 Master Enhanced Disk Recorder
Electrostatic Precautions
CAUTION: This product contains components that are highly sensitive to
!
electrostatic discharge. To protect these components from damage and to
maintain product reliability, take the following precautions when handling
the circuit boards:
• Handle all circuit boards in a static-protected area capable of contr olling
static charge on conductiv e materials, people, and non-conductiv e
materials. Static-protected areas include non-static table tops and
non-static floor mats .
• Handle the circuit boards only by the edges. Avoid touching the printed
wires on the back of the circuit board as much as possible.
• Leave the board in its static-shiel ded bag until you are ready to install the
board.
• Wear ESD grounding straps when handling boards not protected by
static-shielded bags.

Removing the Chassis Covers
Use the following procedure to remove the chassis covers:
1. Turn off PDR100 power and remove the power cord.
2. Using a Torx tool with a T10 tip, remove the top screws from the front
chassis cover (Ê in Figure 1). Remove the front cover. The front chassis
cover must be removed first because it overlaps the rear chassis cover.
NOTE: Take care not to lose the chassis screws—they are required to meet
EMI specifications for the PDR100 system. If your PDR100 has been
upgraded to 9GB disk drives, it will have more disk drive cover screws than
shown in Figure 1.

4. If require d, disconnect any other cables whic h pass over the top of the Master
Disk Recorder board. Be sure to make a cable diagram bef ore you remove
the cables so that you can reinstall them later.
5. Use the Torx tool with the T15 tip to remove the screws whic h secure the
Master Disk Recorder board to the rear panel (see Ê and Ë in Figur e 4 as an
example).
6. Use the extract ion lever on the front of the board and the extraction ring at
the back of the board to lift the circui t board f ree of the connectors on the
motherboard.

Reinstalling Board Retainer Brackets
Before re-inst alling the short board retainer bra cket, check it against the lay- out of
the boards. Ensure that an extender is in every location where a short board is
installed and that none are in locations where full sized boards are installed.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the Analog Composite Monitor board, if
installed, ensure that an extender is not installed at the Analog Composite
Monitor board location.
To move a short board bracket extender:
1. Use the Torx tool with the T15 bit and remove ext ender retaining screw
(

Installation Procedures
Installing EMI Compliance Components
NOTE: This procedure is only necessary if your PDR100 serial number is
below B041650.
To ensure that your PDR100 remains compliant with EMI standards with the
Master EDR board upgrade installe d, you mus t:
1. Remove two ca bles behind the front panel and replace the m with the cables
included in this upgrade kit.
2. Install an EMI gasket inside the rear panel behind the power supply.
The following procedures explain how to perform these modifications.
Replacing the Cables
The replacement cable assemblies are shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12. These
cables replace the existing cables behind the front panel. You must remove the
front panel and its backing pla te to replace these cables.
