STOP!! Call or otherwise contact Asylum Research and talk to us before moving anything. Chances
are that with a few phone calls and the help of this chapter you can do the job yourself. Not calling us
will likely result in instrument damage, costly repairs and downtime, and the voiding of your warranty.
