Installing the Wave Expansion Board

An optional Wave Expansion Board (SRX series) can be installed in
the MC-909.

Waveform data, patches and rhythm sets are stored on the Wave
Expansion Board, so you can increase the number of available
sounds by installing the board in the MC-909.

Cautions When Installing a

Wave Expansion Board

901

• To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be

caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following
whenever you handle the board.

1

• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object

(such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static
electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.

2

• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid

touching any of the electronic components or connectors.

5

• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and

put the board back into it whenever you need to store or
transport it.

• Use a Philips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw

(a number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used,
the head of the screw may be stripped.

• To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To

tighten the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

fig.Screw.e

• Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the

interior of the MC-909.

• Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the cover or the

opening edge while removing the cover.

911

• Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection

terminals.

912

• Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it

doesn’t fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try
again.

913

• When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your

work.

914

• Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before

attempting installation of the circuit board (SRX series; Quick
Start p. 2).

915

• Install only the specified circuit board (SRX series). Remove only

the specified screws (p. 142).

928

• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers

or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both
ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you
should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get
damaged.

929

• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid

dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.

• Do not leave the bottom cover removed. After installation of the

Wave Expansion Board is complete, be sure to replace the cover.
