to remove.
• Do not grasp or push on the rear-panel connectors when removing or
installing circuit boards in the card slots.
3. Remove any video output board in the slot adjacent to the Mix Effects.
4. Align the Mix Effect s board with the conne ctors on the Mo ther Board. Make

set of contacts in the connector. The board is pr operly seat ed when the top of
the rear mounting bracket is resting on the rear cabinet wall shelf.
5. Install the mounting scr ews shown in Figure 3.
6. If necessary, install blank circuit board brackets in an y empty board slots.
7. Reconfigure the front ci rcuit board retainer as necessary, mov ing or
removing short board extensions. Install the retainer. See Figure 2.
8. Reinstall the rear circuit board retainer. See Figure 2.
9. Install the top covers on the PDR 100.
NOTE: When reinstalling the co vers, do not tighten any of the screws
until all the screws have been starte d.
10. Install the PDR100 in the instrument rack and reconnect the vide o and power
