MEDIASTATION X-76
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the MEDIASTATION X76/88
Welcome, Thank you for purchasing the MEDIASTATION X76/88
Before you start to open your mediastation for upgrade parts, CPU, RAM, HD we strong suggest you to read first this complete Hardware manual.
All the parts and boards are full explained with the help of the Pictures too.
The Mediastation is a big keyboard workstation, powered by one standard PC ATX mainboard, AMD CPU, standard Mass device and propietary
Lionstracs PCB boards.
Replacement of some parts are really easy to do, because the mediastation was designed under a PC system with a lot of others connected
Board device, by PCI, SERIAL and USB system.
If you really dont have any know how about PC hardware system, we suggest you to DO NOT open the Mediastation untill one technical person
is able to manage the all PC hardware and boards.
For setup the ATX mainboard like BIOS and connectors, we strong suggest you to download the Quick Installation Guide of the Mainboard installed in your mediastation.
The Mainboards current installed in the Mediastation are:
Chaintech SKT600, SKT 800, socket A and 754, first Mediastation 32 bit models, OS is working til the version 2.8
EpoX EDAI PRO with socket 754 and 939, installed in some Expanded and PRO Mediastation models.
ASRock AM2NF3-VISTA, with socket AM2, installed in the new Mediastation Expanded
Asrock K10N79-1394, with socket AM2+, installed in the new Mediastation Expanded and pro Models ( 2009) with OS Kununtu 3.0
Before you open the Mediastation, we suggest you to have ready the 2 wood bracked kit and the wood cover holder. Inside this manual you
can find how to use this kits.
When you are ready to replace some PCB boards, REMEMBER ALWAYS to reconnect again the all disconnect cables in the SAME connectros like
before !
In ANY case, if you have to open the Mediastation and manage some hardware parts, REMOVE ALWAYS the Power Plug Cord!

Unpacking and Powering up your MEDIASTATION
The first time you open the box, you should ensure that all the parts are enclosed. Ensure that all components are included and that none of
them were damaged during the shipping, like the LCD display, keyboards, DVD disk, sliders or button keys. Select a flat table-top to unpack
your MEDIASTATION that is near a stable power supply.
Check that the voltage of your MEDIASTATION is switched to the correct setting for your local power supply. The paper label, which should be
covering the Power plug connector, will display the factory setting.

end of the cord into a wall outlet. Connect the two XLR plugs named " MAIN OUT" to your external equipment (amplifier, P.A. System or
Mixer). You will need appropriate cables for your device, having XLR female plugs on the end that connect to the MEDIASTATION e.g. a standard XLR (male/female) cable can be used for connecting to amplified speakers with XLR Inputs. There are also Jack outputs for maximum flexibility. The software will route all the sound-outs to the MAIN OUT XLR connectors! If you want to use the MIX OUT 2 JACK connector, you will
have to route the JACK CONTROL SOFTWARE to the desired outputs.

How to open the Mediastation Cover Pannel

If you need to open and upgrade your Mediastation Hardware, you need to open the cover and then you can have the all access to the all Mediastation boards and parts.
If you need only to open/replace the Hard Disk, do NOT need to open the whole Mediastation pannel BUT only you have to open the HD cover,
fixed with the 4 screws in the Mediastation bottom case.
For open the mediastation cover, remove the 8+8 screws, SHITF back the cover from about 1 Cm and then Pull it UP untile will exit from the
bottom case.

After removed the 8+8 screws ( 16 screws total for the X-76 model) you are ready to pull slow UP the Cover pannel. Warning: do NOT pull the
cover totally up, because the pannel is connect with a lot of cables with the bottom case! Some flat cables are not so long and are connected
direct to the PC mainboard and PCI Card boards!
Pulling them totally up could damage the connectors, cables and boards!

How to open the Mediastation Cover Pannel

After you have removed the all 8+8 screws and moved up the mediastation pannel, insert the 2 racket wood kit in the mediastation bottom
case, see the example in the picture below.
After you have inserted the 2 wood bracked kit, insert the mediastation cover pannel inside the 2 wood bracket kits.
Now you are able to open and manage the cover pannel easy, USE the long Wood Holder for hold open the pannel, then you are able to setup
and manage the new mediastation hardware easy.
Look at the picture how to insert the 2 wood racket and wood holder pannel.

IF you have to upgrade the Mediastation with the Asrock AM2NF3-VISTA-K10N78 Mainboard, the PC RUN Flat 20 pin cable will be NOT fitted in
this new mainboard.
You need have the Asrock/Lionstracs IDC connector adapter for recycle the same 20 Pin flat cable to the Asrock 9 Pin power switch connector.
You can also adapt the IDC connector with the 2 set of 2 wire connection and use it for connect the PC Run fat cable to the Asrock mainboard.

MS Power Supply Mixer Board

The Mediastation Power Supply Mixer board, is design to give the ZERO absolute noise interference for the Mediastation Mixer Board.
The Standard ATX Power supply is NOT design for drive professional Audio interface, because the switching power supply system will release a
lot of high frequence noise.
The Mediastation Power supply Mixer board, will ISOLATE the +5V and +12 from the original ATX switching power supply.
The Mediastation Power supply Mixer board, in the X-76 is locate under the Floppy disk drive and in the X-88 under the Hammer keyboard.
Connections:
1.
Power supply INPUT: connect the Hard Disk ATX connector in to the Male 4 PIN, HD Power supply Mixer connector.
2.
Power supply OUT +12V: one 2 Pin connector, 2 wire ( BLACK+GREEN) connected to the Mixer Board 2 Pin Power supply Input.

new ATX Mainboard K10N78-1394 installed in the new Mediastation, must be setup the BIOS system before installing the new MS OS 3.0
Mainboard K10N78-1394 need for working correct with the new OS 3.0 the minimal hardware request:
Hard Disk 3.5 SATA2 model with the 300Mbs transfer mode available.
DDR2 RAM, 800Mhz, CL 5 or 6. For better performance install always 2XDDR2/800 dual canne, or 4X DDR2/800 dual canne, always SAME
CHIPSET, MODEL and SIZE Module!! NEVER MIX different models with different speed or configurazion, the OS kernel can cause bugs!
Better performance, use the AMD X2 Dualcore, MAX 95W power request OR need to be changed the ATX Powersupply to 500W models.
BIOS Setup:
Before booting the Mediastation, connect one external PS2 keyboard for input the data on the BIOS setup.
