Right I/O Card Upgrade
Right I/O Card Upgrade Kit Installation Page 2 of 4 Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc.
Remove the existing I/O Card
All connections to the right I/O card are made to removable pluggable connectors, making this upgrade
very simple.
Step 1: If a Fluorescent Option or DALI Option card is installed, temporarily remove the option
card before proceeding with the right I/O removal.
a: Remove the hardware securing the option card in the enclosure. Keep the hardware in a
safe location for reinstallation later.
Step 2: Disconnect all pluggable connectors from the right I/O card. Be certain to label similar
connectors (including DMX) for easy reinstallation later.
N o t e : The connector plugs can be difficult to disconnect. Do not pull on any of the wires to
remove the connection. If you are having difficulty removing the connectors, carefully
use the edge of a slotted screwdriver to pry the connector free from the receptacle.
N o t e : Retain this original right I/O card to verify DMX termination settings for the
replacement I/O card.
Once the upgrade is complete, this right I/O card is no longer needed and can be
recycled at a local certified electronics recycler or it can be sent back to ETC for proper
disposal. The circuit board should not be disposed of in the general trash.
b: Gently slide the option card to the left,
disconnecting the card edge connector
from the right I/O card.
c: Move the option card to the left side of
the enclosure, keeping the wiring
connections in place if possible.
Step 3: Remove the hardware securing the right I/O card in the DRd
enclosure.
Step 4: Gently slide the right I/O card down, disconnecting the top
card edge connector from the signal distribution board.
