Appendix Installing Sound SIMMs

Installing Sound SIMMs

Vintage Pro can be easily expanded to contain up to 128 MB of sound data (4 SIMMs). Make sure the unit is unplugged from the wall before doing anything! Before you begin, �nd a clean, well lit place in which to work. This procedure requires that you periodically �Ground� yourself, by touching a grounded object such as a water pipe or a grounded piece of equipment. Grounding yourself prevents the static charge in your body from damaging the sensitive memory chips. When you are asked to �Ground� yourself, simply reach over and touch the grounded metal. Do not walk across the room or a rug, as this will defeat the purpose of grounding.

Remove the Top Cover
1.

To gain access to the interior of the unit, the top panel must �rst be removed. The top panel is attached to the main chassis by means of (7) screws. There are three screws along the back of the unit and two on each side.

� If you have rack ears installed, these will have to be removed �rst. 2. When all the screws are removed, slide the metal top backwards and up off the unit, exposing the main circuit board. Set the top cover aside in a safe place and put the screws into a cup so they will not get lost. 3. Ground yourself before touching anything inside the unit!

ROMs can be placed in any available socket. This has no effect on the order of presets as shown in the display.

8.

Ground yourself, then remove the ROM SIMM from the antistatic packaging. To install a SIMM, refer to the diagram on the following page. The four Sound ROM SIMM sockets are located on the left side of the unit when viewed from the front. In some cases, you may have to remove a SIMM in order to make room for another. When replacing SIMMs, replace the SIMM near the inner edge of the circuit board �rst. See instructions below. Insert the SIMM module into an empty ROM socket, (as shown in �gure 1) with the notch toward the rear of the unit. The SIMM should rest naturally in the socket. Tilt the SIMM into a vertical position. Both tabs should lock.

To Remove ROM SIMMs (if necessary):

On each end of the SIMM socket there is a silver or plastic tab. Use a screwdriver or a ball point pen to squeeze the tabs toward the outside of the socket while gently pushing the SIMM towards the right side of the unit (when viewed from the rear). The old SIMM should �hinge� down and can now be removed.
