Hard Drive Removal

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are replacing a PATA hard drive with a SATA hard drive,

please see “PATA to SATA Hard Drive Conversion”.

Hard Drive Identification:

To determine whether your hard drive is quick-click or non-quick-click, look for a light gray adapter
between the hard drive adapter and the hard drive mounting bracket. See Figure 1. If there is such an
adapter, then you have a quick-click hard drive; if not, then your hard drive is non-quick-click. The PATA
hard drive with a clamp will simply have a clamp as shown in Figure 1. The SATA hard drive is also
shown in Figure 1. The SATA is easily identifable by the lack of a hard drive ribbon cable and adapter.

Quick-Click Hard Drive Installation

1. Attach the hard drive ribbon cable in the game to the new hard drive by lining up the left side of the

hard drive adapter with the pins on the hard drive, and then carefully inserting it all the way into the
quick-click adapter (see Figure 2 for proper orientation). Make sure that the writing on the adapter
is facing out, and that the white stripe on the cable is on the left.

2. Slide the new hard drive assembly onto its mounting plate and secure in place with 1 screw (see

Figure 2).

3. Close (or reattach) and lock the rear door.

4. Plug in and turn on the game. The game will reboot twice to configure the hardware. When

prompted, perform a touchscreen calibration.

5. If you are connected to TournaMAXX or TournaCHAMP you must re-enter the dial-in settings after

completing the software upgrade. After entering the settings, make the initial call into the server and
then perform two

Updates From Server

. Refer to the MegaNet manual for information on how to

perform these functions.

3. Unlock the rear door and open if it is hinged, or remove if it is detachable.

4. Disconnect the hard drive adapter, with the attached ribbon cable, from the hard drive. See Figure

2. Remove the screw (through the quick-click adapter) securing the hard drive to the mounting
plate. Remove the hard drive and the attached bracket from the mounting plate by sliding the
assembly up and off the plate.

2. Turn off and unplug the game.

3. Unlock the rear door and open if it is hinged, or remove if it is detachable.

4. Remove the screw securing the hard drive mounting bracket to its mounting plate (see Figure 3).

This screw will not be reused.

5. Remove the hard drive from its mounting plate by sliding the assembly up and off the mounting

plate. Disconnect the hard drive adapter and attached ribbon cable from the hard drive (see Figure
3). Then, separate the hard drive adapter from the ribbon cable and 2-pin power cable. This hard
drive adapter will not be reused.

PATA Hard Drive (with clamp) Installation

1. Attach the 2-pin power cable in the game to the new hard drive adapter, which comes attached to

the new hard drive. Do so by locating the two stand-alone pins on the hard drive adapter, and then
sliding the 2-pin adapter onto these pins (for help, see the label on the hard drive adapter - see
Figue 3). Note: The black wire on the power cord MUST be facing toward the label side of the hard
drive adapter. Failure to do so could result in a damaged hard drive.

2. Attach the hard drive ribbon cable in the game to the new hard drive. Do so by lining up the pins on

the hard drive adapter with the mating holes on the ribbon cable (the red stripe on the ribbon cable
should be on the side opposite the power cable). Carefully insert the ribbon cable all the way into
the adapter so that it is fully seated. See Figure 3.

3. Slide the new hard drive assembly onto the game’s mounting plate. Be sure that the hard drive is

flush to the mounting plate when doing so. Both the label on the plastic of the hard drive adapter
and the label on the hard drive itself should be facing out. Align the hole in the mounting bracket
with the hole on the mounting plate, then secure the supplied screw, washer, and clamp to the
mounting plate. The clamp should rest on the hard drive adapter, holding it in place when screwed
in tightly. See Figure 3.

4. Close (or reattach) and lock the rear door.

5. Plug in and turn on the game. The game will reboot twice to configure the hardware. When

prompted, perform a touchscreen calibration.

6. If you are connected to TournaMAXX or TournaCHAMP you must re-enter the dial-in settings after

completing the software upgrade. After entering the settings, make the initial call into the server and
then perform two

Updates From Server

. Refer to the MegaNet manual for information on how to
