4.4.3 Installing procedures
Installation instructions are listed below. When installing
the unit, if a screw or other object should drop inside the
Plasma Display, immediately consult your nearest Pioneer
Service Center. Continuing operation may damage the
panel. This device has been designed for installation on
the Pioneer Plasma Display PDP-507CMX/PDP-427CMX.
Installation procedures are as follows:
Check the following before installing this video card:
• Plasma Display is disconnected from the computer and
any other devices.
• The Plasma Display is unplugged from the wall outlet
before installing/removing a card from a panel slot.
Installation Notes:
• Do not install the PDA-5002 on the PDP-507CMX/PDP-
427CMX display units.
• When opening the protective cover, take care not to
drop screws or other objects in the opening. Objects
dropped inside the display may cause damage or
malfunction.
• When installing a video card, if the Plasma Display is
laid with its screen side facing down, the work surface
should be flat and level. The packing material, a blanket,
or other soft material should be spread on the work
surface to protect the screen before laying the panel
down. Take care to prevent scratches or other damage
to the unit from tools or other objects. Never rest the
display on a surface in such a way that weight or
pressure is placed only on the screen surface.
• This video card has been designed for exclusive use with
the Pioneer Plasma Display PDP-507CMX/PDP-427CMX.
Do not attempt unauthorized modifications or alterations
since malfunction or damage may result.
• Take care not to modify or damage the card’s internal
devices in any way.
• Before installation, take precautions to eliminate static
electricity on your body. Do not touch the card’s circuitry
or devices.
• This device has not been designed to be repeatedly
removed and reinstalled. Avoid removing the card once
it is installed.
• When installing the PDA-5003, it may be necessary to
adjust the impedance selector switch setting. Confirm
this item before installing.
• Prior to insertion, use a cloth containing ethanol to clean
the PCI bus. Wipe in the direction of the electrodes to
remove dirt and dust. Wiping with a dry cloth may cause
damage due to static electricity.
