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.

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.

Enhanced Disk Recorder Installation
Repositioning Circuit Boards
Installing the Slave EDR board may require repositioning one or more currently
installed boards to either make room for the new board or meet internal cabling
constraints. When unplugging boards it may also be necessary to r emove a screw that
mounts an adjacen t circui t board or , in the cas e of some shor ter circuit boards, i t might
be necessary to remove an adjacent tall circuit board to ease removal of the shorter
board.
Use the following procedure to unplug a circuit board from the motherboard:
1. Remove all interior and rear panel cables, if any, from the circuit board.
2. Using a Torx tool with a T15 tip, remove the two bracket mounting screws: one
that anchors t he top of the bracket f rom inside the chassis (Ê in Figure 3) and one
that anchors the bottom of the bracket from the outside rear panel of the chassis
(Ë in Figure 3).
CAUTION: To avoid damage to a c ircuit boa rd during remova l or instal lation: 1 ) Do
not rock the circuit board in the EISA Bus connector — pull it straigh t up. 2) Do not
!
grasp or push on the rear-panel connector s when removing or installing circuit
boards in the card slots.

3. Extract the circuit board:
- For tall circuit boards, use the extracti on lever on the front of the board and
the extraction ri ng at the back of the board to lif t the circuit board f ree of the
connectors on the motherboard.
- For short circuit boards, carefully grasp the board and lift upward to free
the circuit board from the motherboa rd connectors. You might need to
remove an adjacent tall board to get enough room for a safe hold on the
shorter board.
Board Location Guide
This section provides a simple approach you can use to determine proper board
location. It explains the relationship between the motherboard and video router
connectors and provides ta bles, charts and examples to assist you in install ing boards.
Table 1 (page 8) identifies the inputs and outputs of all Profile boards currently
available, as well as the input and output connec tions on the vi deo router conne ctors on
the motherboard. Use this information when:
• Adding a new circuit board to your Profile system and you need to select an
installation slot.
• Moving boards to meet requirement s for a new board.
Board Location Guide
Keep in mind th at some ci rcuit boar ds must occu py a specific slot, whi le you can install
other boards in almost any slot that meets their I/O requirements.
NOTE: If more than one slot appears in a column in Table 1, the slots are listed in
order of prefer en ce.
Video Router to Motherboard Relationship
The video router provides and contr ols video data to twelve connectors on the
motherboard. These video data connectors are aligned with the main motherboard
connectors for slots J5 through J16. Since the Ref erence Genlock (Ref Gen) board must
occupy J16 to provide the necessary system clocks, this discussion excludes J16.
When choosing a board slot, the major constr aint on a slot is how the board connects
to the video router. Not all boards require the same number of video I/O connections
and not all video data connectors pr ovide the same number of video I/O connections.
Therefore, you must know how many input and output connect ions the board you want
to install needs, as well as the avai lable slots that meet those requirements.

Video Router I/O Connections
Now let’s look at the video router connections available in slots J5–J15. Table 2
(page 10) lists the video route r input and output connections. Here’s a description of
what appears in each column:
• The Slot column lists each slot on the motherboard connected to the video router.
• The Board column lists the boards currently installed, as well as the boards you
want to install.
• The Input column identifies data input connections to the slots (boa rds) from the
video router. The numbers in the blocks correspond to the order in which input
connections are assigne d at the video router connector.
• The Output column identifies data output connections from the slots (boards) to
the video router. The numbers in the bloc ks correspond to the order in which output
connections are assigne d at the video router connector.
The shaded blocks in the diagram indic ate video router connections shared between
slots. Shared c onnec tion are availa ble t o eithe r sl ot, but not b oth s lots at the same time.
Specifically , in Tabl e 2:
• The shaded blocks betwe en slots J5 and J6, slots J7 and J8, slots J10 and J11, and
slots J12 and J13 indicate shar ed input connections.
• The shaded blocks betwe en slots J8 and J9, sl ots J10 and J11, a nd slots J12 and J13
indicate shared output connections.
The next section describes how to select a board location.

Board Location Guide
Selecting a Location
The following procedur e explains how to select a location for a board you want to add
to your Profile system. Use Table 2 (page 10) as a template for recording information
for the new board placement.
1. On Table 2, put a 3 in each input and output block used by every board currently
installed in your Profile system, starting with the 1 block for each board. Look in
Table 1 (page 8) to get this information.
2. Using Table 1, find the input and output requi rements, and the recommended slot
and alternate slots (if any), for the board you want to install.
3. On Table 2, complete the following steps:
-In the Board column, next to the appropriate sl ot number, write the name of
the board you want to install.
-Put an 8 in the appropriate input blocks.
-Put an 8 in the appropriate output blocks.
NOTE: If you ca n’t find an open slot with an I/O which meets the requirements of
the board you want to install, you will have to move existing boards. You can use
Table 1 and Table 2 to experiment with various board locations before deciding
which board co nfig u rat i on yo u wa nt to us e.
The following examples show how to use the above procedur e to select a location for
the Slave EDR b oard.
Enhanced Disk Recorder Installation 11
Enhanced Disk Recorder Installation
Example 1
In this example you’re going to add the Slave EDR board to a Profile 202D system
which has the following boards already installed: Master EDR, Serial Digital I/O and
Audio Signal Processing.
Table 3 (page 13) shows how the Board Location Chart should look a ft er you have
completed the following procedure.
1. On Table 2 (page 10), put a 3 in each input and output block used by every boa rd
currently install ed in your Profil e sys tem, starti ng with the 1 block for each board.
Look in Table 1 (page 8) to get this information.
a. For the Master EDR board in slot J9, which requires two inputs and two
outputs:
-Put a 3 in Input blocks 1 and 2 for slot J9.
-Put a 3 in Output blocks 1 and 2 for slot J9.
b. For the Audio Signal Processing board (ASPB) in slot J13:
- There are no video router I/O connection r equirements—no action is
required.
c. For the Serial Digital I/O boar d in slot J14 , which requi res two inputs and two
outputs:
-Put a 3 in Input blocks 1 and 2 for slot J14.
-Put a 3 in Output blocks 1 and 2 for slot J14.
2. Using Table 1, find the input and output requi rements, and the recommended slot
and alternate slots (if any), for the Slave EDR board. That table shows the Slave
EDR board needing two input bloc ks and two output blocks. It a lso shows t hat the
recommended slot posi tion is J10 and th at the boa rd must be adjacent to the Master
EDR board. Since the Master EDR board occupies slot J9 and the recommended
slot for the Slave EDR board (J10) is open, that is the slot you must use.
3. On Table 2, complete the following steps:
- Write Slave EDR in the Boards column for slot J10.
-Put an 8 in Input blocks 1 and 2 for slot J10.
-Put an 8 in Output blocks 1 and 2 for slot J10.

Audio Clock Cabl ing
NOTE: Although the Slave EDR board does not require audio clock cabl ing, the
information is included here i n case you ha ve to move other boards to make room for
the Slave EDR board.
This section provides information about audio clock cabling. In general, if all the
audio/video devices are connected to house reference, audio clock cabling is not
required. The need for audio clock cabling arises when an external audio clock signal
from the appropriate video board must be used to synchronize the audio to the video.
Cabling between connecto rs on the top of the video boards and connectors on the top
of the ASPB provide the external audio cl ock signals.
ASPB Audio Clock Cabling
The ASPB provides input of four external au dio clock signals, one to each
Audio 1–Audio 4 bank, where each bank consists of four audio channels. ASPB
Audio 1–Audio 4 connectors begin closest to the rear panel and go toward the front
panel.
In general, the video board in the lowest numbered slot must provide the audio clock
signal to the Audio 1 bank, the video board in the next lowest numbered slot must
provide the audio clock sig nal to the Audio 2 bank, etc. For example, if you have video
boards in slots J5 and J11, the audio clock signal from the video board in J5 must be
connected to Audio 1 on the ASPB and the audio clock signal from the video bo ard in
J11 must be connected to Audio 2 on the ASPB. If, however, t he video board in J5 has
two audio clock signals, those signals must be connected to Audio 1 and Audio 2,
respectively, on t he ASPB and the a udio c lock si gnal f rom t he video bo ard i n J11 must
be connected to Audio 3.
Figure 4 (page 17) and Figure 5 (page 18) show examples of external a udio clock
cabling with the ASPB. In Figur e 4, the Analog Composite I/O boards, insta lled in slots
J14 and J15, are the only video boards. The audio cl ock cable connections are:
• Channel A of the board in slot J14 to Audio 1 on the ASPB in slot J13.
• Channel B of the board in slot J14 to Audio 2 on the ASPB in slot J13.
• Channel A of the board in slot J15 to Audio 3 on the ASPB in slot J13.
• Channel B of the board in slot J15 to Audio 4 on the ASPB in slot J13.

In Figure 5 (page 18), the Analog Composite I/O board installed in slot J11 makes it
the first video board (coun ting from J5 to J15) and the Serial Digital I/O board in slot
J14 becomes the second video board. The new Audio clock cable connections should
now be:
• Channel A of the board in slot J11 to Audio 1 on the ASPB in slot J13.
• Channel B of the board in slot J11 to Audio 2 on the ASPB in slot J13.
• Channel 1 of the board in slot J14 to Audio 3 on the ASPB in slot J13.
• Channel 2 of the board in slot J14 to Audio 4 on the ASPB in slot J13.
Keep in mind that the ASPB only provides for input of four audio clock signals. Also
note the following:
• Figure 5 is an example of a two-channel PDR200 with one Serial Digita l
I/O board.
• If you have a four-channel PDR200 with two Serial Digital I/O boards, all four
ASPB audio clock inputs may be connected.
Enhanced Disk Recorder Installation 17
Enhanced Disk Recorder Installation
• If all four ASPB clock inputs are connected and you then install another video
board, you will have more audio clock signals than you have connections on the
ASPB (two from the Analog Composite I/O board and four from the two Seria l
Digital I/O boards).
You will have to determine how you want to set up your system; that is, what you want
to use as the signal sources that synchronize the audio to the video. While this is
primarily a software configuration function, keep in mind that how you configure the
audio clocks in software must match the physical connections.
NOTE: The Configuration Manager (see the Profile Family User Manual) allows
you to assign either the syste m clock or a video sourc e as the source of audio c locks.
If you select a video source, then you must ensure that the audio associ ated with that
video sourc e is connected to the corre ct audio cha n nel co nn ect o rs .

Audio I/O Audio Clock Cabling
Figure 6 (page 20) shows an exam ple of an Analog Compos ite I/O board insta llation in
a PDR100 with two Analog Audio I/O boards. In the figure, audio clock cable
connections are from:
• Analog Composite I/O Channel A t o the RECORD connector o n the Anal og Audio
I/O board in the lowest num bered slot from slot J5 t o slot J1 5 (in this e xample, J9).
• Analog Composite I/ O Channel B to the RECORD connector on the Analog Aud io
I/O board in the next lowest slot (in this e xample, J10).
• PLAY cables on both Audio I/ O boards to any of t he system cl ocks on th e RefGen
board, or to any board which has system clock connectors (such as the Analog
Composite Output board).
Figure 6 is an example. If you have other video boards installed, or add Audio I/O
boards, you will need to determine which video source you want to use for the audio
clock signals and then make the appropriate Audio I/O board connection adjustments.
