Enhanced Disk Recorder Installation
Introduction
Use these instructions to install a second disk recorder in a Profile system. The Slave
Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) board provides two JPEG codecs and two SCSI-2
channels. Note that these two codecs may require adding another video I/O board or
additional disks .
You can install the board with the Profi le chassis fully extended on the rack slides if
the equipment rack is a dequately mounted to prevent tipping, and if there is sufficient
slack in the cables connected to the rear panel to allow the chassis to fully extend on
the slides.
If it is necessary for you to remove the Profile chassis from the equipment rack to
perform this insta lla tio n , refe r to the Pr ofile system’s Installation manual for
instructions.
WARNING: Unless the equi pment rack is adequa t ely a nch o red , the r ac k cou ld tip
when the Profile chassis is extended on the rack slides. To avoid possible injury,
!
make sure the rack is f irmly secured before extendi ng the chassis on the rack slides .
System Requirements
The Profile System Software insta lled in the Profile system must be Version 2.2 or
higher. To check the software version installed in your Profile system, open the
VrdPanel application a nd choose
listed in the Product Version field in the displayed window.

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 f ollowing precautions when handling the circ uit boards:
• Handle all circuit boards in a static-protected area capable of controlling static
charge on conductive materials, people, and non-conductive materials.
Static-prote cted areas include non-static table tops and non-st atic floor mats.
• Handle the cir cuit boards only by the edges. A void t ouching the prin ted w ires on
the back of the circuit board as much as possible.
• Leave the board in its static -shiel ded bag until you are ready t o install the boar d.
• Wear ESD grounding straps when handling boards not protected by
static-shielded bags.

Installation Procedures
Installation Procedures
The manual includes step-by-step instructions for:
• Removing the Profile unit fro m the instrument rack (this page)
• Removing the chassis covers (page 4)
• Removing the circuit board hold- down brackets (page 5)
• Repositioning cir cuit boards (page 6)
• Selecting a board location ( page 7)
• Installing the Slav e E DR b o ard (p ag e 21)
• Connecting the SCSI cables (page 23)
• Installing the PCI Inte rconnect board (page 27)
• Reassembling the system (page 28)
• Verifying the installation (page 29)
There is also a section that discusses internal audio clock cabling (page 16) .
Removing the Profile Unit from the Instrument Rack
If you cannot or do not want to install the Slave EDR board with the Prof ile chassis
extended on the rack slides (as explained in the Profile system’s Installation manual),
you will need to use the following procedure to remove the Profile unit from the
instrument rack:
1. Remove all cabling connected to the Profile chassis.
2. Loosen the front-panel retaining scre ws.
3. Grasp the handles and pull the chassis out until the slide sections latch. This holds
the Profile chassis fi rmly in that position.
WARNING: Removing the Pro file chass is from t he rack requi res two peopl e; it i s too
!
heavy for one person to lift.
4. Press both track stop latch buttons (visible in the stop latch holes) and carefully
slide the Profile chassis free of the tracks.

Removing the Chassis Covers
Use the following procedure to remove the chassis covers:
1. Turn off Profile system power and remove the power cord.

Figure 1. Removing the Chassis Cover Screws
2. Using a Torx tool with a T10 tip, remove the top screws from the front chassis
cover and then use t he T15 tip to remove the side scre ws. Remove the front cover
(Ê in Figure 1). The front chassis c over must be removed fir st because it over laps
the rear chassi s cover.
NOTE: Take care not to lose the chassis screws—they are required to meet EMI
specificati ons for the Profile system. Also note that the PDR100 may not have the
same number of screws as shown in Figure 1.
3. Using a Torx tool with a T10 tip, remove the rear chassis screws and then r e move
the rear cover (
