Epica DGX 16 and Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Epica DGX 32
Epica DGX 32 enclosures have 16 vertical board slots (8 slots each for input and output boards with four
connectors each), allowing for a maximum configuration of 32x32.
For information on the boards included in your system, including connector types, cabling directions, and
specifications, see the specific board chapter in this manual. If a system has empty board slots, the slots can
be used to upgrade the system. For information on adding or replacing boards, see “Appendix E
– Board
Replacement” on page 145.
Input and Output Connectors
The connectors on the input and output boards are the attachment points for source and destination devices
that connect to the system. Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the input connectors (for attaching
sources) are on the left, and the output connectors (for attaching destinations) are on the right.
Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located as follows:
 Epica DGX 16 – on the vertical numbering plate (metal strip) between the input and output
connectors.
 Epica DGX 32 – on the horizontal numbering plate (metal strip) directly above the connectors.
Serial Number
The serial number is normally located on the rear of the enclosure on the left (FIG. 2 on page 10 and
FIG. 3 on page 11). Before installation, we recommend recording the serial number for each enclosure (and
for each module if applicable) in the system in an easily accessible location.
