Connections - Daughterboards
WARNING:
Caution should be exercised when connecting / disconnecting daughterboards 
on the Fiji card.  If the pins on any of the daughterboards are misaligned, 
damage will occur to the board(s) and / or the computer. 
This is not covered by VTB warranty and VTB assumes no responsibity for 
damage caused by user error. 

PRECAUTIONS: 
1) Never "hot-swap" daughterboards. 
2) Always power down the system and remove the Fiji from the motherboard 
   before connecting / disconnecting daughterboards.
3) Make sure you discharge any static electricity by touching a metal area on 
   the PC's chassis before handling computer components. 
4) Before power-up make sure that all the connections are correct and all
   cards are seated properly without making contact with any adjacent cards 
   in the system.
5) Please consult with a qualified, certified technician if you feel uncertain
   in any way.

REMOVING (AND REPLACING) THE HOMAC (Kurzweil)
* The HOMAC is the bigger of the two daughterboards. 
* While holding the top of the daughterboard by the connector, carefully pull
  it off the host card with a *gentle* back-and-forth rocking motion.
* The HOMAC daughterboard should be connected ONLY to the *horizontal*
  WaveTable Header (J5) labeled: 'WaveTable'. This is located on the upper 
  right side of the host card close to the metal bracket. 
* Both rows of pins should be aligned perfectly in the female connector with 
  no gold pins left showing. 

REMOVING (AND REPLACING) THE DIGITAL I/O DAUGHTERBOARD
* The digital I/O daughterboard is the smaller of the two daughterboards.
* While holding the top of the daughterboard by the connector, carefully pull
  it off the host card with a *gentle* back-and-forth rocking motion.
* The digital I/O daughterboard should be connected ONLY to the *vertical* 
  Header (JP4) labeled: 'D-I/O Move JP1'. This is located on the far left side
  of the host card. It should hang off the end of the host card (like a
  'tail').

NOTE: The HOMAC (Kurzweil) and the digital I/O daughterboards are optional 
      accessories. They are both standard accessories in the PPS package.
