Service and Maintenance

Replace a Paradigm ACP

Step 1:

Open enclosure door.

Step 2:

If possible, save all configuration files to removable media.

See “Save Arch

Configuration” on page 59.

When the Paradigm ACP is hosted by a Unison DRd

rack, the

“Save Rack Configurations”

action also saves the dimming rack

configuration with the architectural configuration.

Step 3:

Remove the existing Paradigm ACP from the rack.
a: Hold both sides of the Paradigm ACP and pull straight out.

Step 4:

Remove the CompactFlash card from the existing Paradigm ACP and insert it

into the new Paradigm ACP.

Step 5:

Insert the new Paradigm ACP into the enclosure.
a: Rest the Paradigm ACP on the bottom lip of the enclosure.
b: Slide the ACP into the rack.
c: Press on each corner of the ACP to ensure proper connection with the card

edge connector’s on the left and right I/O boards. If power is applied, the

status LEDs will illuminate when proper connection is made.

Step 6:

If the Paradigm ACP is installed within a Unison DRd rack and a configuration

mismatch error occurs, select “Yes” to load the dimming configuration from the

DRd rack dimming engine. Alternatively you could select “NO”, then proceed to

load the rack configuration from the removable media.

See “Load Dimming

Configuration” on page 57.

Step 7:

Load the Paradigm ACP configuration from the removable media.

See “Load

Architectural Configuration” on page 60.

N o t e :

Both the architectural and dimming configurations are stored to the removable

CompactFlash.

N o t e :

If you don’t get a configuration mismatch error, the Paradigm ACP already has the

matching dimming rack configuration or it doesn’t have any dimming rack

configuration file and therefore automatically loaded the dimming configuration

from the DRd rack dimming engine.
