Chapter 2: FOH Rack Power Supply

This chapter explains how to remove and replace either the main or the redundant power supply in the FOH Rack. The complete process should take approximately 15 minutes.

To remove and replace a power supply from the FOH Rack:

1 Shut down your VENUE system, and turn off power to the FOH Rack.

2 Disconnect all cables from the FOH Rack. Remove any USB disks or accessories plugged in to the connectors on the out-side of the rack.

3 Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the mounting screw for the power supply you wish to replace.

4 Slide the old power supply module out of the slot.

5 Slide the new, replacement power supply into the slot until it is fully seated and flush with the outside of the FOH Rack.

6 Tighten the power supply’s mounting screw so that it locks to the chassis.

7 Check to make sure the power supply is fully seated and se-cured by gently pulling on its swivel handle and making sure the unit cannot slide out.

To verify installation:

1 Connect an AC power cable from the newly installed power supply’s corresponding AC port (next to the power supply’s power switch) to a power source.

2 Turn the power switch on the power supply to the ON posi-tion.

3 Press the power switch located on the front of the rack to power up your VENUE system. When successfully installed, the lights on the newly installed power supply are lit solid.

Chapter 3: Stage Rack Power Supply

This chapter explains how to remove and replace the main power supply and the redundant power supply in the Stage Rack. The complete process should take approximately 30 minutes per power supply.

Stage Rack Main Power SupplyTo replace the main power supply, you must first remove some Stage Rack Input (SRI) cards.

To remove the main power supply:

1 Shut down the VENUE system, and turn off power to the Stage Rack.

2 Disconnect all cables from the Stage Rack.

3 Remove the back panel using a #1 Phillips screwdriver to re-move the 18 screws that secure the panel to the rack, and lift the panel away from the rack.

4 Remove the SRI cards that cover the main power supply as indicated in Figure 2 by doing the following:

• Inside the rack, disconnect the ribbon cables by pressing the retaining clips at the top and bottom of the ribbon sockets outward to release the ribbon cable from each card. Leave the ribbon cable in place (do not disconnect additional cards, and do not remove the entire ribbon ca-ble).

• Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the internal mount-ing screw for each card you disconnected in the previous step.

Chapter 3: Stage Rack Power Supply 5

• From the front of the Stage Rack, using a #1 Phillips screwdriver remove the four screws noted in Figure 4 for each card you are removing.

• Carefully remove the cards from the rack. For each card, use two hands; one to push forward (from the back of the Stage Rack, and the other to pull the card out (from the front of the Stage Rack). Make sure to note which card be-longs in which slot to simplify the reinstallation of the cards.

5 From the back of the Stage Rack, carefully remove the two cable ties indicated in Figure 5 that are used to secure the power supply harness to the Stage Rack.

6 Carefully disconnect the 24-pin power supply cable connec-tor from the Controller card, shown in Figure 6.

7 Remove the two silver screws on either side of the power switch, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. Removing the two screws on either side of the power switch

8 Remove the fours crews indicated in Figure 8 that secure the power supply to the rack’s chassis.

9 Lift the power supply out of the rack.

To replace the power supply:

1 Carefully place the new power supply in the rack. Slide the power supply into place so that its mounting holes line up with the holes in the rack chassis. Make sure the power cables for the new power supply are free to reach their power socket to the left and above the new module.

2 Replace the four screws that secure the power supply to the rack’s chassis.

3 Replace the two screws on either side of the power switch.

4 Connect the new power supply’s 24-pin power supply cable connector to the bottom power port on the Controller card, as noted in Figure 6. Orient the cable correctly so that it snaps into the socket.

Figure 9. Lifting the power supply out of the rack

5 Reinstall the SRI cards you removed earlier by doing all of the following:

• Carefully insert each SRI Input Card into position in the Stage Rack. There is a guide hole for each card to fit into at the back of the unit, as noted in Figure 10

• Reattach the ribbon cable to each of the Stage Rack I/O cards you replaced. Gently press the ribbon cable into each card socket, and make sure the connector tabs spring back to their “locked” position.

• Reattach each card’s internal mounting screw that you removed in Step 4 on page 5.

• On the front of the rack, reattach the four screws that se-cure each card to the rack.

6 Reattach the back panel of the Stage Rack.

To verify installation:

1 Connect an AC power cable from the newly installed power supply’s corresponding AC port (underneath the power sup-ply's power switch) to a power source.

2 Turn the power switch on the power supply to the ON posi-tion. When successfully installed, the power switch lights green.

Chapter 3: Stage Rack Power Supply 7

Stage Rack Redundant Power SupplyDepending on your configuration, you may have to remove some Stage Rack Output (SRO) cards to replace the redundant power supply.

To remove the redundant power supply:

1 Shut down the VENUE system, and turn off power to the Stage Rack.

2 Disconnect all cables from the Stage Rack.

3 Remove the back panel using a #1 Phillips screwdriver to re-move the 18 screws that secure the panel to the rack, and lift the panel away from the rack.

4 Remove any SRO cards that cover the main power supply as indicated in Figure 12 by doing the following:

• Disconnect the ribbon cables by pressing the retaining clips at the top and bottom of the ribbon sockets outward to release the ribbon cable from each card. Leave the rib-bon cable in place (do not disconnect additional cards, and do not remove the entire ribbon cable).
