Installing multiple synchronized boards
Hooking up the boards
Before mounting several synchronized boards for a multi channel system into the PC you can hook up the boards with the synchronization cable first. If there is enough space in your computer’s case (e.g. a big tower case) you can also mount the boards first and hook them up afterwards. Spectrum ships the boards together with the needed synchronization cable.
All of the possible four boards must be wired with the delivered synchronization cable. The figure is showing an example of three synchro- nized boards.
The outer boards have a soldered termination for the sync bus. These boards are marked with an additional sticker.
Only mount the cluster of synchronized boards in a row with the dedicated boards on the outer sides.
Mounting the wired boards
Before installing the boards you first need to unscrew and remove the dedicated
While inserting the boards take care not to tilt the retainers in the tracks.
Please be very carefully when inserting the boards in the PCI slots, as most of the mainboards are mounted with spacers and therefore might be damaged if they are exposed to high preasure.
After the boards insertion fasten the screws of all brackets carefully, without overdoing. The figure shows an example of three boards with two installed modules.
