Korg Electric Keyboard manual Please note when installing an option board, 254

If you install only DRAM SIMM modules (without installing the EXB-SMPL), you will be able to load multisample and sample data in Media mode.

DRAM SIMM boards are not a manufacturer option. Please purchase commercially-available boards that are sold for use in computers.

In order to use the maximum of 64 Mbytes, you will need to remove the 16 Mbyte DRAM SIMM that was installed when installing the EXB-SMPL, and use two 32 Mbyte DRAM SIMM modules.

The memory banks and sampling time will depend on the capacity of the DRAM SIMM boards you install, and on the slot locations. (☞ p.90)

Please note when installing an option board

•So that static electricity in your body does not damage the electronic components, touch the ground wire of a grounded device or an unpainted metallic component to discharge any static electricity in your body before installing an option board. Internal components of this instrument and of the option boards may be damaged by static electricity.

•Follow the installation procedure, and be sure that each part is installed correctly and in the correct orientation.

•Please use care in handling option boards. Dropping them or applying pressure to them may damage the components.

•Avoid touching exposed metal edges of the circuit board, or portions that need not be handled during installation.

•All screws (and washers) that are removed will be used, so be careful not to misplace them.

•Do not use screws other than those that are installed in the option board and this instrument. Using screws of a different shape or length may damage the unit or cause it to malfunction.

•Be sure to firmly tighten the screws used for attach- ment.

•Be sure that the option board is inserted correctly into the connector or slot. After installation, be sure to check that the board is installed correctly. If the board is not inserted all the way, faulty contact or power supply shorts can occur, making the unit malfunction.

•Be careful not to drop parts or the option board into the inside of the instrument.

If you are unable to retrieve a screw or part that was dropped inside the instrument, please contact your local Korg distributor.

Option board/memory installation procedure

Before you perform the installation, be sure to read the foregoing section “Please note when installing an option board/memory.”

1. Preparations for installation

During the installation, be careful not to cut your hand on any sharp edges of the TRITON Le or of the option board/memory.

1The EXB-SMPL sampling upgrade contains the following items. Make sure that no items are missing.

•	EXB-SMPL (board)	: 1 board
• 16 Mbyte DRAM SIMM		: 1 module
•	Screws, 3 mm ⋅ 8 mm	: 3 screws

2You will need a “+” (plus) screwdriver, and some maga- zines or other material (to prevent damage to the joystick and knobs etc.: see diagram below)

3Turn off the TRITON Le, and disconnect the AC/AC power supply cable and any other cables by which other devices are connected.

4As shown in the following diagram, place four maga- zines etc. at the four corners of the instrument to prevent damage to the joystick and knobs, and place the TRITON Le upside down on top of them.

Cover “B”

Cover “A”

View from below

Place in each of the four corners so that joystick and knobs are not contacted

When turning the TRITON Le upside down, be careful not to loose your balance and drop the instrument.

5Detach the appropriate cover for the option board/mem- ory you wish to install.

When installing the EXB-SMPL, detach cover “A.” When installing the DRAM SIMM, detach cover “B.”

(☞ Detaching the cover is described in the following sec- tions “2–1” or “2–2.”)
