Sound SIMMs
Vintage Pro can be easily expanded to contain up to 128 MB of sound data
(4 SIMMs).
Make sure the unit is unplugged from the wall before doing anything!
Before you begin, find a clean, well lit place in which to work. This
procedure requires that you periodically “Ground” yourself, by touching a
grounded object such as a water pipe or a grounded piece of equipment.
Grounding yourself prevents the static charge in your body from damaging
the sensitive memory chips. When you are asked to “Ground” yourself,
simply reach over and touch the grounded metal. Do not walk across the
room or a rug, as this will defeat the purpose of grounding.
 Remove the Top Cover
1. To gain access to the interior of the unit, the top panel must first be
removed. The top panel is attached to the main chassis by means of (7)
screws. There are three screws along the back of the unit and two on
each side.
• If you have rack ears installed, these will have to be removed first.
2. When all the screws are removed, slide the metal top backwards and up
off the unit, exposing the main circuit board. Set the top cover aside in
a safe place and put the screws into a cup so they will not get lost.
3. Ground yourself before touching anything inside the unit!
 Install the ROM SIMM
4. Ground yourself, then remove the ROM SIMM from the antistatic
packaging.
5. To install a SIMM, refer to the diagram on the following page. The four
Sound ROM SIMM sockets are located on the left side of the unit when
viewed from the front.
6. In some cases, you may have to remove a SIMM in order to make room
for another. When replacing SIMMs, replace the SIMM near the inner
edge of the circuit board first. See instructions below.
7. Insert the SIMM module into an empty ROM socket, (as shown in figure
1) with the notch toward the rear of the unit. The SIMM should rest
naturally in the socket.

ROMs can be placed in
any available socket. This has no
effect on the order of presets as
shown in the display.
8. Tilt the SIMM into a vertical position. Both tabs should lock.
 To Remove ROM SIMMs (if necessary):
9. On each end of the SIMM socket there is a silver or plastic tab. Use a
screwdriver or a ball point pen to squeeze the tabs toward the outside of
the socket while gently pushing the SIMM towards the right side of the
unit (when viewed from the rear). The old SIMM should “hinge” down
and can now be removed.
