ATTEMPTING TO CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS.
ALLOW THE MIXMASTER MODULE TO COOL

ANTI-STATIC BAG; ONLY HANDLE THE CARD BY
GRIPPING THE CARD BY ITS EDGES AND AVOID

Top Lid Removal
Remove the 12 crosshead screws fixing the top lid to the top
and sides of the module.
Digital Option Cover Removal
The rear panel digital connector area is accessed by removing
the small rear cover plate next to "DIGITAL OUTPUT". The
plate is removed by pushing out, from inside of the module, the
3 black plastic retaining pins. Once removed these retaining pins
are no longer required.
Installing Digital Card
The digital card is mounted in place using the digital connector
fixings and the two white plastic support pillars which should be
fitted first into the two slots on the main circuit board (next to
C322/C172).
Now slide the digital card towards the rear of the unit such that
the connectors pass through the rear panel and the rear
mounting holes line up with the pillars previously mounted on
the main circuit board.
Secure the digital card in position by gently clicking onto the
pillars, taking care not to place excessive pressure on the main
circuit board.
