Installing Effect Expansion Boards
The VS-2480/2480CD contains one VS8F-2 effect expansion board (EFFECT A
section).
An additional three VS8F-2 boards can be installed in the VS-2480/2480CD.
When four VS8F-2 boards are installed, you will be able to use up to eight stereo
effects simultaneously.

Cautions When Installing an Effect Expansion Board
lTo avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static
electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you handle the board.
• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water
pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have been carrying
has been discharged.
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of
the electronic components or connectors.
• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board
back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.
• Use a Phillips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw (a number
2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screw
may be stripped.
• To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver
counter-clockwise. To tighten a screw, rotate the
screwdriver clockwise.

• When installing effect expansion boards,
remove only the specified screws.
• Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the
VS-2480/2480CD.
• Do not leave the bottom cover in a detached state. Be sure to reattach it after
the effect expansion boards have been installed.
• Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.
• Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the installation bay.
• Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesn’t fit
properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.
• When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work.
1. Before installing the VS8F-2, turn off the power of the VS-2480/2480CD
