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.
• 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 towers. The system is now ready to be configured (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 Requirements
Each tower can draw up to 3 amps of current during normal operation. It is highly
recommended that your towers operate on a dedicated circuit with a maximum of 4
towers for each 15 amps of current. Overloading a circuit will cause failures.
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 the 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

Tower

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.
