The pictures in these topics show how to disassemble. Unless otherwise documented, re-assembly is the reverse.
Unless otherwise indicated, you need only a Torx tool with T15 magnetic tip to remove and replace parts in the Turbo iDDR.
You can also replace the entire Turbo iDDR as a FRU, as explained in "Replacing an iDDR".
NOTE: Only Grass Valley components are supported. Do not attempt to use components procured from a different source.
NOTE: Do not discard any hardware unless specifically instructed to do so.
WARNING: To avoid serious injury from high currents, ensure that the power cord is disconnected prior to removing or replacing any parts.
CAUTION: This system contains board-level components that must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Wear a wrist strap grounded through one of the system's ESD Ground jacks when handling system components.

Removable media drive removal
To remove the DVD drive or the REV/DVD drive combo, first remove the top cover and front bezel, then do the following:
- Identify the connections to the DVD drive or the REV/DVD drive combo, then proceed as instructed in the following options:
- If you have a Turbo-1 model (with DVD drive only), there is one ribbon (IDE) cable connecting to the DVD drive. This is the case if your Turbo system has either the Type I motherboard or the Type II motherboard. In this procedure when there is a choice of diagrams, follow those that apply to the DVD drive, as the steps are the same for both types of motherboards.
- If you have a Turbo-R model (with REV/DVD drive combo) and the drives are connected with just one ribbon (IDE) cable, your Turbo system has a Type II motherboard. In this procedure when there is a choice of diagrams, follow those that apply to the Type II motherboard.
- If you have a Turbo-R model (with REV/DVD drive combo) and there are two ribbon (IDE) cables (one for each drive), your Turbo system has a Type I motherboard. In this procedure when there is a choice of diagrams, follow those that apply to the Type I motherboard.
Also refer to "CPU motherboard identification".
NOTE: Do not modify the position of jumpers on existing drives. Later in this procedure you must compare jumper positions on existing and replacement drives.

A Turbo system has either a Type I (Intel) motherboard or a Type II (Fujitsu-Siemens) motherboard. Use the information in this section to identify the type of motherboard in your Turbo system.
You can identify the motherboard type by the number of IDE connectors:
![]()
- The Type I motherboard has two IDE connectors. This means the REV/DVD combo (if present) is connected with two IDE cables.
- The Type II motherboard has one IDE connector. This means the REV/DVD combo (if present) is connected with one IDE cable.
You can also identify the type of motherboard by the color of the slots that hold the Random Access Memory (RAM). You might need to use a flashlight or other light source to see the color.

CPU motherboard installation
Replacement motherboards are Type II motherboards. The faulty motherboard that you removed was either a Type I motherboard or a Type II motherboard. Refer to "CPU motherboard identification" to identify your faulty motherboard.
To install the replacement motherboard, reverse the steps in the previous procedure "CPU motherboard removal" for the Type II motherboard, following additional steps as indicated in the following options:
If the faulty motherboard was a Type I motherboard:
Refer to "CPU motherboard identification" to confirm that the faulty motherboard that you removed was a Type I motherboard.
- Discard the cable previously used to connect the DVD drive or REV/DVD drive combo.
- Connect the DVD drive or REV/DVD drive combo using the new cable that is supplied with the motherboard replacement kit:
- Make the connection at the motherboard as detailed in the previous procedure "CPU motherboard removal" for the Type II motherboard.
- Make the connection at the DVD drive or REV/DVD drive combo as instructed in "Removable media drive removal" for the Type II motherboard.
- After the motherboard is installed, you must replace the disk image on the system drive to support the Type II motherboard. To replace the disk image, use the system installer process as follows:
NOTE: The system installer process overwrites all files on the system (C:) drive.
- Access the Turbo iDDR Release Notes and Installation Instructions on the Documentation CD that you received with the FRU kit. You must follow the system installer instructions in the release notes.
- Before the first startup after motherboard replacement, insert the system installer CD in the iDDR DVD drive. You must use the system installer CD that you received with the FRU motherboard replacement kit. This puts the required disk image on the system drive to support the Type II motherboard.
- Restart the iDDR.
- Follow the system installer instruction in Turbo iDDR Release Notes and Installation Instructions.
- To save your current media clips and iDDR configuration files, in the system installer application, select the System Update/Repair option.
If the faulty motherboard was a Type II motherboard:
Refer to "CPU motherboard identification" to confirm that the faulty motherboard that you removed was a Type II motherboard.
Chose one of the following options and proceed as instructed:
- To minimize replacement steps, reuse the old cable that is still connected to the DVD drive or REV/DVD drive combo.
NOTE: On some iDDRs with the REV/DVD combo, the new ribbon (IDE) cable is folded in a different pattern than that of the old cable. If this is the case with your iDDR, you must retain and reuse the old cable. Using the new cable forces a different connection pattern at the REV/DVD combo, which renders the REV and DVD drives inoperable. Do not change the connection pattern at the REV/DVD combo.
- If the new cable has the same fold and connection pattern as the old cable, if desired you can discard the old cable and instead use the new cable. Make the connection at the motherboard as detailed in the previous procedure "CPU motherboard removal" for the Type II motherboard. Make the connection at the DVD drive or REV/DVD drive combo as instructed in "Removable media drive removal" for the Type II motherboard.
