S4/S6 Riser Kit Installation

This document provides instructions for installing Riser Kits in an Avid S4 or S6 control surface. Riser Kits raise modules when a

better viewing and interaction angle is desired. Riser Kits for S4 and S6 include 1-bay and 2-bay kits. Expansion (“Extra”) kits are

available to let you install Risers across three or more bays. For S6 (only), these different widths are available for both Reduced

Depth (5-knob) and Full Depth (9-knob) frames. Only the Reduced Depth size is compatible with S4, and Risers match the rake an-

gle of the S4 Channel Strip Module.

Required Items

This procedure requires only a small flat-head screwdriver and a clean, padded work surface with enough room to set modules

What’s Included

Riser Kits are available in the following configurations.

The following table and diagrams identify components in the Riser Kits. “RD” indicates S6 Reduced Depth (5-knob) frames and

S4 frames. “FD” indicates S6 Full Depth (9-knob) frames. Other items are common to all Riser Kits.

S4/S6 Riser Kit Installation This document provides instructions for installing Riser Kits in an Avid S4 or S6 control surface. Riser Kits raise modules when a better viewing and interaction angle is desired. Riser Kits for S4 and S6 include 1-bay and 2-bay kits. Expansion (“Extra”) kits are available to let you install Risers across three or more bays. For S6 (only), these different widths are available for both Reduced Depth (5-knob) and Full Depth (9-knob) frames.

Overview Installing Risers into an existing S4 or S6 is simple and requires the following steps, detailed in the following sections of this guide: • Preparing the System • Removing T-Strips, Removing Compression Panels, and Removing Fill Panels • Removing Modules • Installing a Riser If you are installing Risers while also installing your S4 or S6, first follow the instructions in the S4 or S6 Installation Guide.
PAGE 3
Removing Compression Panels Remove the Compression Panel from each chassis where you will be installing a Riser in order to remove modules and/or Fill Panels. To remove Compression Panels:  Remove the Compression Panel from the top-most slot of the chassis. Push it gently towards the back of the console to compress its built-in springs, then lift out the front edge and remove the panel. Figure 1.
PAGE 4
Installing a Riser After removing T-strips, Compression and Fill Panels, and modules, each Riser is installed by assembling it in the S4 or S6 frame. To install a Riser: 1 Install the T-strips Front on either side of the Fader Module in slot 1. If you are installing a 2–bay or wider Riser, install other T-strips Front (one for each additional slot 1 module).
PAGE 5
4 Install the Riser Sides. Make sure the gap along the bottom of each Riser Side fits over the Riser Stop, and that the Sides seat fully into their slot along the top of the chassis wall. Riser Sides 7020-71583-00 (S4, and S6 Reduced Depth/5-knob) 7020-71585-00 (S6 Full Depth/9-knob) Figure 5.
PAGE 6
Re-install the module (usually a Process Module in an S6 system) into slot 2 by positioning it close to the Riser, connecting Ethernet and power, then carefully setting the module onto the Riser. Make sure the module is seated fully at the bottom of the Riser. If using a Fill Panel in slot 2 place it into position. Figure 8. Re-installing a module into slot 2 on the Riser (Process Module on a 1-bay Riser shown) 7 Re-install the next module or Fill Panel into slot 3. Figure 9.

9 Install the included T-strips Mid to secure modules into each Riser. T-strips Mid 7020-71579-20 (S4 and S6 Reduced Depth/5-knob) 7020-71586-00 (S6 Full Depth/9-knob) Figure 10.
