Mounting and Handling
Normally, the H8000FW will be rack mounted in a standard 19 inch rack. If the rack will
be taken on the road, the H8000FW should be supported at the rear. It is advisable to
keep the rack well ventilated and in a dry, dust-free environment, so that heat and
moisture won’t cause degradation of performance. Contrary to some reports, we have
found that soda/beer splashed liberally about the front panel does not enhance the
reliability of the H8000FW. Since the H8000FW has few internal connectors, it should
hold up well under "road conditions."
Memory Cards
All functions that work on internal user memory also work on Memory Cards. The
H8000FW supports Compact Flash cards (using a suitable adaptor).
The H8000FW does not support PCMCIA "Linear Flash," "SmartMedia™," "XM™" or
other cards not listed above.
The Compact Flash card is used extensively in digital cameras. These can also be read by
PCs (and some Macs) with the use of a low cost USB adaptor. This allows saved programs
to be backed up or organized on the computer. These cards do not require a battery.
Insert a Memory Card by pushing it into its slot until it "locks" into place. The Memory
Card Release will "lengthen," and the display will briefly read
Checking "Memory
Card".
. or Checking "GTR Library". . or (generally) Checking "whatever-the-
name-of-this-card-is". .
Remove a Memory Card by pressing the Memory Card Release - but don’t remove a
Memory Card when the
BUSY LED is lit! A program that was loaded from a Memory
Card continues to run even if the Memory Card is subsequently removed. The Memory
Card only needs to be in place during
PROGRAM and Routing Storage area functions such
as loading,
Save, update, remove, etc. The BUSY LED is used to indicate that a Memory Card is being
written to. However, if there is no Memory Card in place, the BUSY LED indicates data at the MIDI In port or the serial
port. You may want to use this latter feature during a session that requires periodic use of a Memory Card. Simply insert the
Memory Card when you need to load something from it or save something to it. Remove it when you are done loading or saving,
and the
BUSY LED will be available for "data indication."
