Installing the Wave Expansion Board

Installing the Wave Expansion Board

Up to four optional Wave Expansion Boards (SRX series; sold
separately) can be installed in the Fantom.

Wave Expansion Boards store Wave data, patches, and rhythm sets,
and by equipping the Fantom-S/Fantom-S88 with these boards, you
can greatly expand your sound palette.

Cautions When Installing an

Wave Expansion Board

● 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.

• 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.

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

touching any of the electronic components or connectors.

• 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 Philips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw

(a number 2 screwdriver, Fantom-s only). 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.

● When installing Wave Expansion Boards, remove only the

specified screws.

● Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior

of the Fantom-S/S88.

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

Wave Expansion Boards is complete, be sure to replace the cover.

● Be careful not to cut your hand on the opening for installing the

board.

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

terminals.

● 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.

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

work.

● Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before

attempting installation of the circuit board (SRX series).

● Install only the specified circuit board(s) (SRX series). Remove

only the specified screws (p. 203).

How to Install a Wave

Expansion Board

Install the Wave Expansion Boards after removing the panel cover.
Boards can be installed in the EXP A–EXP D slots. These slots
correspond with the Wave Expansion Board groups (XP-A–XP-D)
when the expansion Wave, patches, and rhythm sets are used.

1. Before installing the Wave Expansion Board, turn off the

power of the Fantom-S/S88 and all connected devices, and

disconnect all cables, including the Power cable, from the

Fantom-S/S88.

2. From the Fantom-S/Fantom-S88, remove only the screws

shown in the following diagram, and detach the cover. On

the Fantom-S, the cover is located on the bottom panel. On

the Fantom-S88, it is located on the front panel.

When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers
or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both
ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you
should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get
damaged.
When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid
dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.

A hex wrench is included with the Fantom-S88. When removing
