PAC 216 Upgrade Installation
Introduction
These instructions show you how to install a daughter card in a PAC 208
Analog/Digital Interface to upgrade it to a PAC216, providing an additional eight
channels of audio, for a total of 16. The PAC 208 is housed in a PAC 200 Audio
Chassis and is identified by a model/serial number sticker on the side of the unit.
By installing the daughter card in the PAC200 Audio Chassis and attaching the
PAC XLR Breakout Panel, the audio chassis is upgraded from a PAC 208 to a
PAC216. The audio chassis is attached to an Audio Signal Processing Board
(ASPB) in your Profile disk recorder via an ASPB cable with an 80-pin connector.
NOTE: These instructions assume that you already have a PAC208.
The instructions include procedures for:
• Opening the PAC200 Audio Chassis.
• Installing brackets for the new daughter card.
• Installing the new daughter card.
• Closing the PAC200 Audio Chassis.
• Connecting the PAC XLR Breakout Panel.
• Verifying that the installed board is functioning correctly.
