Installation Requirements
System Setup
• Connect the power cable to the DVD Premium Pro Series tower and plug in to a protected power outlet strip or UPS power supply.
• NET Series Only: Connect the 2 towers using the NET cable provided (see page 7 for
more information).
o The left port on the back is the IN port, and the right is the OUT port; the Master
tower should have the NET cable plugged into the OUT port, and the Slave should have the cable plugged into the IN port.
o If more than 2 towers are being connected, connect the OUT port in the first
Slave to the IN port of the next. In the final chain of towers, the Master wil have only the OUT port used, while the final tower will have only the IN port used.
• Turn on power to the tower. The system is now ready to use. If you have a NET Series
system, you will need to configure the system before proceeding (see page 8).
Install your DVD Premium Pro Series duplicator in the following environment:
• On a level and stable surface
• In a well ventilated location
• Temperature and humidity
• Temperature: 5-40°
• Humidity: 20-80%RH (no dew formation)
Do not install it in the following places:
Under direct sunlight (If the machine is exposed to sunlight, the light should be blocked
by a curtain or blind.)
A dusty location  A place where there is a lot of vibration  Near open flame  A place where the temperature and humidity change drastically  Near a heating device such as a heater or furnace  A location where air from an air conditioner blows directly onto the unit  Near a container filled with water
In winter during times of low humidity or in a location where static electricity is
generated, use an anti-static-electricity mat or humidifier to prevent static electricity.
Power supply
Use house current as the power source for the unit.  Do not use an outlet near a motor driven appliance (i.e. air conditioner, copying
machine).
Use an outlet with stable power supply voltages.  Do not overload an outlet. Do not use a service outlet from a PCs or other office
machine.
Wire the power cord properly.  Do not touch the power cord with a wet hand.  Be careful not to damage the power cord.
Inspect the power cord periodically. In the event that the power cord is damaged, replace the power cord.
Be sure to use a tool such as a screwdriver to change the 115/230V Switch. Do not use your finger.

Connecting Master and Slave Towers
The Microboards DVD Premium Pro NET tower line requires a physical connection between the towers. A tower will be designated as a Master or as a Slave tower initially based solely on the configuration of the connection.
The directions below give 2 connection scenarios: a 2-tower configuration, and a Multi-Tower configuration. Please use the appropriate instructions based on the number of towers you have. The diagrams below show the backs of the towers.
For the 2-Tower configuration, connect the OUT port of one tower to the IN port of the other using the provided cabling. Whichever tower is connected by the OUT port will become the Master tower. The tower that is connected by the IN
port other will become the Slave tower.
Once the towers are turned on and initialized, press YES
on the Master tower to enter NET mode.
For Stand-alone operation, press NO on both the Master
and Slave when the configuration display is showing. Each tower will then operate as an independent tower.
To return to NET mode, you will need to restart both towers.
.
For Multi-Tower configuration (3 towers are shown here), select one tower as the Master and connect one end of one
of the provided cables to the OUT port
on the Master tower and the other end
to the IN port on Slave Tower One. Plug the next cable to the OUT port of Slave Tower One and to the IN port of
Slave Tower Two.
If you have more than 3 towers,
Slave
Tower
Two
continue to connect the remaining towers in the same fashion. The last tower will only have a cable connected
to the IN port.
Once the Master and Slave towers have initialized, the displays will give you the configuration options.

Microboards NET Configuration
The Microboards NET configuration allows you to connect multiple 10-drive tower duplicators. They can function together as a single duplicator with 10 drives per tower for ultra high-quantity production, or can operate independently as stand-alone duplicators, each copying from a different master.
It does not matter which tower is set as the Master; the only restriction is that one tower of the chain must have the NET cable connected to the Out port only. The last tower in the chain will only use the In port.
Configuration Options
To set the Multi-Tower configuration, turn on power to all of the connected towers and wait for the configuration options to be displayed, as shown to the right.
The exact display message and configuration options on each tower will depend on the location of that tower in the chain.
Once the configuration has been selected, you must either power cycle all towers or run the Net Reboot on all Master towers to change the configuration.
The display of any Master or Stand-Alone tower will initially read COPY START when it is ready for duplication. The control panel on Slave towers
is disabled.
NET MASTER YES: SET MASTER
Master Display alternates between these messages
NET SLAVE 1 YES: SET

towers show Slave number sequentially
NET MASTER NO: STANDALONE
NET SLAVE 1 NO: STANDALONE
NET SLAVE X NO: STANDALONE
Final tower in chain
Basic Configuration
The most basic configuration would be to set the first tower as the Master with the remaining
towers as Slaves. For this configuration, you would only need to press the YES button on the
Master tower when the configuration options are showing.
NET
Master
The result with a six-tower configuration is shown above. Only the reader and hard drive on the NET Master will be available as source drives.
Net Reboot and Basic Configuration
To run the Net Reboot, press either the ▲or ▼ button until the display reads SETUP. Press the
YES button, then press either the ▲or ▼ button until the display reads NET REBOOT. Press YES and all towers will reboot.
