Installing Sound SIMMs
Install a New ROM SIMM
1.
Ground yourself by touching a grounded object, then remove the
memory SIMM modules from the static protected packaging.
2.
Notice that one end of the SIMM connector is notched. This notch
should be oriented towards the keyboard side of the unit. Install the
SIMM closest to the LEFT side first.
(When the rear of the unit is closest to
you.)
3.
Gently set the SIMM deep into the SIMM socket at a 45º angle with the
notch toward the keyboard. Without forcing the insertion, let the board
rest in the socket as deep as it will go. It should rest naturally in place at
this 45° angle. See the following diagrams.
4.
While applying a slight downward pressure on the top of the SIMM to
keep it from popping out of the socket, tilt the SIMM board into a
vertical position. You should hear an audible click. Make sure both sides
of the silver tabs have latched.
Reassemble the Unit
5.
Replace the hatch cover and the four screws. The screws are all
identical.
Test It
The installation is almost finished.
1.
Turn the unit right-side up and plug in the power cord.
2.
Turn on power.
3.
Place the cursor under the ROM field of the Main screen and turn the
data entry control to verify that the new sound ROM has been recog-
nized.
4.
Play the presets on the new ROM banks and verify that they sound OK.
Problems?
1.
Disconnect power immediately.
2.
Open the unit, and try re-seating the ROM SIMMs. Take care that the
RAM SIMMs are properly installed in the sockets. If you’re still having
problems, return the unit to its original configuration and call EMU
Systems Customer Service at (831) 438-1921. Telephone support hours
are 8:00-5:00 PST, Monday through Friday.
