DIAGRAM 13: A FITTED Y-BOARD

The 34-way ribbon cable supplied should now be connected (checking that you have it correctly orientated)

between the 34-way connector on the Y-BOARD and the 34-way connector on the main PCB of

PLUGSTATION, found on the right side (as you are looking down on the unit with the front of

PLUGSTATION facing towards you) The connectors are marked as K1 and K2 respectively. (The Y-BOARD

connector has a black plastic surround; the other 36-way connector, which is designed for interfacing with

the Z-BOARD, does not). Please make sure that the ribbon cable is firmly connected to the correct ports,

and that the cable itself is lying flat against the top of the PLG card chassis holder (the large steel housing in

the middle)

If you are at all unsure about fitting the Y-BOARD please consult a qualified service engineer.

Once fitted, if you are not fitting the Z-BOARD then you should re-attached the top case with the screws, re-

fit the DATA entry knob, and after checking all is secure, re-connect all of your audio/power and MIDI

cables.

FITTING THE Z-BOARD TO PLUGSTATION

This is a much easier operation than fitting the Y-BOARD. The Z-BOARD allows the SW1000XG audio and

MIDI channels to be passed to the individual outputs alongside the PLG cards. It has a Motorola M56364

DSP (the same type used on many expensive open architecture DSP cards!), for mixing and routing the

digital audio streams from the Serial Out connector on the SW1000XG. The board itself should be removed

from the anti-static packaging in which it comes, and then held so as not to touch the components with the

36way edge connector facing down, and on your left as you look at it (the writing at the top of the board

should appear as normal, not upside down). Now without using excessive force, fit the Z-BOARD to the 36-

way edge connector on the Y-BOARD (located towards the front left side of the Y-BOARD (towards the front

of PLUGSTATION)). The two-spacer screw holes should now line up with the holes in the Z-BOARD, and

you should now (using the screws supplied) fit the Z-BOARD in place.

When fitted it should appear similar to diagram 14
