Expanding the Memory

The Fantom-Xa comes with 4 MB of memory into which audio
samples can be loaded. However, in some cases, 4 MB of memory
will be insufficient for loading large amounts of data. In such a case,
you will have to add separately sold memory (DIMM). Memory can
be expanded up to 64/128/256/512 MB.

Before expanding the memory, consult with your retailer, the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor.

• To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be

caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following
whenever you handle the board.

1

• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object

(such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static
electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.

2

• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid

touching any of the electronic components or connectors.

5

• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and

put the board back into it whenever you need to store or
transport it.

• Use a Phillips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw

(a number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used,
the head of the screw may be stripped.

• To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To

tighten the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

• Install only the specified memory DIMM board. Remove only the

specified screws.

• Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the

interior of the Fantom-Xa.

• Do not leave the bottom cover removed. After installation of the

memory module is complete, be sure to replace the cover.

• Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the cover or the

opening edge while removing the cover.

911

• Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection

terminals.

912

• Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it

doesn’t fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try
again.

913

• When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your

work.

Install the memory module after removing the bottom panel cover.
