Card Removal and Replacement
Removing an I/O Card
In the event of a problem with the A/D or D/A
cards in your 96 I/O, you can remove the card
and send it to Digidesign for repair.
The modular nature of the Pro Tools|HD system
lets you simply return the specific card, instead
of the entire 96 I/O. Your Pro Tools|HD system
will continue to function while missing a single
card. It will not function if more than one of the
factory-installed cards is removed.
Always contact Digidesign Customer Service be-
fore removing cards.
To remove an I/O card from the 96 I/O:
1
Power off and disconnect the 96 I/O from
your Pro Tools|HD system.
2
Make sure that the 96 I/O AC remains plugged
in so that it is grounded.
3
Remove all of the 16 small phillips-head
screws around the edges of the top cover. Do not
lose the screws (you will need them to re-attach
the top cover).
4
Lift off the top of the 96 I/O and set it aside.
5
Gently pull the 50-pin connector off of the
edge of the card.
Before handling any of the cards or internal
components of 96 I/O, discharge any static
electricity by touching the outer casing of the
power supply.
