Installing Optional Hardware

Either the mLAN expansion board (mLAN8E) or the I/O expansion board (AIEB 2) sold separately can be installed to the MOTIF.

With the mLAN8E board, you can conveniently and easily hook up your MOTIF to other mLAN- compatible instruments or devices. The AIEB 2 board gives you additional digital I/O options, featuring both optical and coaxial connectors. Moreover, the board also includes three stereo ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT pairs (six analog jacks).

Installing the AIEB2

1 Turn the MOTIF power off, and disconnect the AC power cord. Also, make sure to disconnect the MOTIF from any connected external devices.

2 Turn over the MOTIF so you can have direct access to the underside. To protect the Knobs and Wheels, place the keyboard so the four corners are supported by something that provides sufficient support like magazines or cushions.

View of the keyboard from the bottom.

Please the supports at all four corners without touching the Knobs and the Wheels.

Be careful not to drop or bump the keyboard and make sure that it is well balanced before proceeding.

3 Remove the cover of the bottom. Unscrew the screws on the bottom using the driver by placing the back sides of the ripped over body facing to you (MOTIF6/ MOTIF7 has 7 screws and MOTIF 8 has 7 yellow screws.). Remove the cover from the body after unscrewing all the screws. For MOTIF6/MOTIF7 place the back side facing to you and slide the over toward front to remove the cover.

Keep the removed screws in a safe place. They will be used when attaching the cover to the MOTIF again after installing the AIEB2.
