– You may wish to lay a protective cover on the touchscreens so that they are not damaged.
– Obviously, you’ll need to have your show files saved to an external drive. You can load them on to this new drive after the installation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_text_separator title=”Opening the Console” title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”blue” style=”double”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]1.

Remove the fader caps by pulling each directly upward. Leave the faders at around 50% (this prevens scratching or other damage when removing/replacing the front panel).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3553″ alignment=”right” border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]3.

Use a 2mm hex key to remove all the outside screws/washers on the front panel.
5. Gently lift the front panel PCB (circuit board) up as you would a car hood. There are connections at the top of this board that can be damaged if pulled straight up. Please note that this circuit board is not hinged to the console.

Insert the System Restore CD into the console’s CD drive (this file can be downloaded from High End Systems and burned as an ISO).
2. Power cycle the console while holding the ENTER or PIG key.
3. From the on screen menu, select “Full Install” using the arrow keys found on the console and hit ENTER. The console will prompt you to confirm this.
4. The process will then complete on it’s own. This will take a few minutes and you will not see a progress bar. It may appear as if the console is not doing anything. The install is complete when the Hog3 Start window is displayed.
