Installing a Third DSP card for 96ch operation
In order to take advantage of the mixing channel upgrade of the V3.0 software, an third DSP card needs to
be installed in the Local Rack.
Although DSP cards will work in any of the free slots in the upper section of the Local Rack, it is
recommended to t the additional card in such a way that there is one free slot in between all of the
cards, in order to maximize efcient airow in the rack.
The new DSP card should therefore be tted to the right of the Lexicon/BSS FX card, as shown in the
diagram below (DSP 3 card, indicated with arrow).
Note that the FX card may have to be moved one slot to the left, depending on how it was installed from
the factory. If the FX card is already in the position shown below, go straight to step 5.
Instructions for moving FX card and tting DSP card
Remove any breakout panels to allow access to the top section of the Local Rack.
Note: when removing, ret-
ting and handling DSP and
FX cards in the Vi Series
rack, observe anti-static
precautions: Either wear a
grounded wristband or regu-
larly touch the metal chassis
of the rack to discharge any
static build-up. Keep the
new card in its antistatic bag
until the last moment.
1. Firstly, remove one blanking panel on each side of the FX card.
2. To remove the FX card, unscrew the two small xing screws at the extreme top and bottom ends of
the card (Do not unscrew the two larger extended screws).
3. Release the FX card from the backplane connector by pulling on the two large extended screws.
Carefully slide the card from the rack on its mounting rails.
4. Ret the FX card one slot to the left of its previous position. It should then be in the position
shown in the diagram above.
5. Fit the new DSP card (DSP 3 in above diagram) to the right of the FX card with one empty space
in between.
6. When retting the FX and DSP cards, engage the pcb carefully with the mounting rails and slide
the card into the rack. There should be very little friction if the card is correctly running on the mounting
rails. When resistance is felt, press on the two large extended screws to engage the card the last 5mm into
the backplane connector. When fully seated, press the oating fascia panel into the rack and tighten the
two small xing screws at top and bottom.
7. The blanking plates should not be retted until after the FX and DSP cards are tted, to avoid
catching components on the cards on the metalwork as they are slid in and out.
