16 - Options The DM-24 can be expanded by means of cards (one or two) installed in the expansion slots. WARNING Regarding installation, consult your nearest TASCAM dealer. Do not install options by yourself which require opening the DM-24 or you will lose your warranty. You will need a cross-head (Phillips) screwdriver. 1 Turn off the DM-24 and disconnect it from the power supply. Disconnect all other equipment connected to it. WARNING WARNING The above step is most important. If you do not do this, there is a risk that you may cause damage to the DM-24 as well as other equipment. 2 Use the screwdriver to remove the blanking panel from the slot into which you will fit the interface card. Keep the retaining screws in a safe place. We suggest that you start from the top slot (slot 1) and work downwards. Take care, if you are removing a previously-fitted interface card, that you are removing the retaining screws, and not the smaller screws which fix the card to the rear plate. Also, if you are removing a previously-fitted card, use the Clock sources Any cards which provide digital audio input facilities (that is, the cascade card, the TDIF card, the ADAT card and the AES/EBU card), can be used as clock sources. binding posts on the rear plate to help remove the card. 3 Remove the interface card from the antistatic protective bag. 4 Hold the card by the edges, and insert it, component side upwards, into the slot. 5 Locate the card into the connector inside the DM-24. Push the card firmly, without forcing, so that the connector grips the end of the card. A new DM-24 and/or new card may be a little stiff. Make sure that the card is pushed as far as it will go (so that the card rear connector plate touches the rear panel of the DM-24). The cards available for the DM-24 are: • Cascade card • TDIF card • ADAT card • AES/EBU card • Analog I/O card The setting up of these cards is done using the SLOT screen of the DIGITAL display. This screen is split into two: the left half of the screen represents the card in slot 1 (the top slot) and the right represents the card in slot 2 (the lower slot). If either or both of these slots are unoccupied, the screen shows No Card for the appropriate slot(s). The cards are listed in the CLOCK screen when they are fitted. In the case of the AES/EBU card, any of the four inputs (two in the case of high sampling frequency) can be selected as the word sync source. Cascade slaves automatically take their clock from the master (which is free to take it from any other source). 118 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
