28—Expanding the VS-2400CD
Installing a VS8F-2 Effect Expansion Board
The VS-2400CD ships from the factory with one VS8F-2 effect expansion board—this
board produces stereo Effects 1 and 2. You can install an VS8F-2—sold separately—for a
total of four stereo effects, or 8 mono effects.
Installation Precautions
• To avoid damaging internal components as a result of static electricity, please
carefully observe the following precautions whenever you handle a VS8F-2.
• Before you touch the board, always first touch a metal object—such as a water
pipe—so you’re sure any static electricity you may have been carrying is
discharged before you touch the VS8F-2.
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of its
electronic components or connectors.
• Save the bag in which the VS8F-2 was shipped, and put the board back into the
bag should you need to store or transport the board.
• Use the correct Phillips screwdriver—a Number 2 screwdriver—for the size of the
VS-2400CD’s screws. The head of the screw may become stripped if you use the
wrong screwdriver.
• To remove a screw, turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten a screw, turn
the screwdriver clockwise.
• When installing a VS8F-2 effect expansion board, remove only the specified screws.
• Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the
VS-2400CD.
• Re-attach the VS-2400CD’s bottom cover after the installation—do not leave its
internal components exposed.
• Do not touch any printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.
• Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the installation bay.
• Never use excessive force when installing a VS8F-2. If it doesn’t fit properly on the
first attempt, remove the board, re-position it and try again.
• When the VS8F-2 installation is complete, double-check your work before replacing
the VS-2400CD’s bottom cover.
Install only the specified circuit board(s), Model No. VS8F-2. Remove only the specified
screws.
Before turning the VS-2400CD upside-down to install a VS8F-2, obtain some
newspapers or magazines and place them under the four corners of the VS-2400CD—or
at both ends—to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Position the VS-2400CD
carefully to avoid scratching or damaging it.
