the maximum number of Yamaha and third-party expansion cards that can be
simultaneously installed. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with the audio
device, and/or the Yamaha Pro Audio web site at www.yamahaproaudio.com.

• Do not install the card in any Yamaha products not specied by Yamaha for use
with the card to avoid possible electrical shock, re, or equipment damage.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the card. Do not apply excessive force to
card connectors or other card components.

• Mishandling of the card may lead to shock, re hazard, or equipment failure.

• Be sure to disconnect the power cable of the host device before installing the card
and connecting/disconnecting the cables (in order to eliminate shock hazard,
undesired noise, and avoid equipment damage.)

• Turn o all peripheral devices connected to the host device before installation, and
unplug all related cables.

• Be sure to properly ground the host device to prevent electrical shock and/or
malfunction.

• Do not touch the metallic leads (pins) of the circuit board when handling the card.

• Wear a pair of heavy gloves during installation to avoid scratching or cutting your
hands on sharp edges.
