Swapping neckboards

Post by erzane »

HI,
I have two chassis:
1. Nanao MS8-18A with its original Nanao neckboard.
2. Nanao MS8-18FB with a Toei neckboard.

There are two differences between the neckboards connectics on each chassis:
- The Nanao neckboard does have an additional wire (G1) that the Toei neckboard don't have.
- The MS8-18FB chassis connectors are linked togheter by a wire (8/4). I guess that link is for replace the missing G1...

Can I swap the neckboards with that new wiring like on the 2nd shema?
THANKS!!

I don’t know but that seems like a good question to ask on the AP forum.

They have a dedicated thread for monitor chassies

Hopefully recommending other forums isn’t looked down apon here

I also did a thread there, thanks for the tip. Btw, It would be enough for me to know if I risk serious damages like an explosion or fire. If I only risk to blow/fail some components it's not a problem since I have more chassis.
Thanks
