Contents of the Kits
Daughter Board Kit (RMB-26)
• ROM Option Daughter Board
• Foam retention block to keep the daughter board in place
Sound Option Card Kits (RMB1-26 through RMB5-26)
• Sound Option Card
• One or more floppy disks containing ROM program objects, and in some cases, operating
system software, demo songs, and/or custom programs for loading into RAM
Tools and Materials Required for Installation
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Two thick foam pads (keyboard models only)
• The floppy disks that came with your new ROM option kit(s)
• If you already have one or more ROM options installed, you may also need one or more of
the floppy disks that came with those option kits (the disks contain objects that you’ll need
to reinstall in your K2600). If you don’t have the disks, you can download the object files
you need from the “downloads” area of our website:
http://www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com/html/downloads.html
• If your K2600 has the sampling feature, you’ll need the floppy disk containing the
Live-mode objects. Again, you can download the object files from our website.
If you’re not sure which floppy disks or files you need, don’t worry. There is a table at the end of
this document that list the files you need for any installation. For tips about keeping track of the
files you need, see
Organizing the Object Files
on page 9.
Important! Before You Install…
…you must back up any user-defined objects that you want to keep: programs, setups, samples,
studios, FX presets, songs, intonation tables, velocity maps—in other words, anything stored in
RAM. All of these user-defined objects will be deleted from your K2600 when you do the hard
reset at the end of the installation procedure.
The easiest way to do this is to make an “Everything” backup; this stores the entire contents of
the K2600’s RAM to a single file. You can then reinstall everything in one operation, without
having to keep track of individual objects.
Once you begin the installation, you can’t go back and do the backup. So if you want to save
your RAM objects, do it
before
you begin the option installation.
