Rodec ONE USB Board

Installing the Rodec USB Board & REV2 Backplane

Before you begin, please ensure the Rodec ONE is completely powered off and unplugged from any electrical outlet.

Step 1: Prepare the Chassis

• Remove the side panel of the Rodec ONE to access the internal components.

• Remove the blind plate from the slot where the new USB board will be installed.

—---- ONLY FOR RODEC ONE WITHOUT THE REV2 BACKPLANE —----

This step is only needed if your ONE does NOT have the REV2 board or higher. Check the print "REV2" on the PCB board

Step 2: Disconnect the Old Backplane

• Locate the existing backplane with the four 6.3mm (1/4") TRS connectors.

• Carefully disconnect all ribbon cables attached to this backplane. (Tip: Take a quick photo before disconnecting so you remember where they go!)

Step 3: Remove the TRS Connectors

• Move to the back of the unit.

• Using a 12mm wrench, give the cap of each TRS connector a slight 10-degree counter-clockwise turn.

• The caps will loosen, allowing you to easily remove them and take out the old board.

Step 4: Install the New REV2 Backplane

• Position the new REV2 backplane into place.

• Secure it from the back using the existing caps you removed in the previous step.

Step 5: Install the USB Board

• Slide the new USB board into its designated slot.

• Secure it firmly in place using its mounting screws.

Step 6: Reconnect & Test

• Reattach all the ribbon cables to their correct positions on the new boards.

• Before closing everything up, plug in the unit and perform a quick test to ensure both the USB functionality and the TRS connections are working perfectly.

Step 7: Final Assembly

• Once you've verified everything works, unplug the power again.

• Screw the side panel back onto the chassis.

Note: Take your time when handling the ribbon cables to avoid bending any pins. If you experience any resistance when turning the TRS caps, double-check your wrench alignment.
