4.3 Installing an Event Master card

About Event Master card installation

The installation procedure is the same for each Event Master card. All cards can physically be installed into any of the slots, but will only work if they match the slot type. Ensure the type of card is supported by the slot before installing.

Tip: The Encore3 will ensure all installed cards have the latest compatible software version.

If a slot will not be used by any card, then installing a metal blank plate is recommended. This blank plate prevents dust or other particles from entering the Encore3 and causing damage. The installation procedure is the same as for an Event Master card.

Prerequisites
Warning: The Encore3 must be disconnected from power to avoid damaging the equipment.

The desired slot can not have an Event Master card nor dust cover installed. For more information, see “Removing an Event Master card”.
