Before You Begin
Before you start installing the DAXI, make sure you have all of the tools and
accessories needed for installation.
No tools are needed when mounting the DAXI on a shelf or countertop. Wall or rack
mounting requires screwdrivers of the appropriate type and size. Wall mounting
may also require tools for drilling holes into the mounting surface.
The main accessories needed for installation are the cables that interconnect various
source components to the DAXI, and an ASI cable that connects the DAXI to the
DSAN unit.
Auxiliary Channel Mapping
You also need to know how the host DSAN maps EIA channels to auxiliary inputs.
You can obtain this information from plant documentation or by examining the
DSAN configuration through its command line interface (CLI). For additional
information on CLI, see the Cisco DSAN System Installation and Operation Guide, part
number 4032302.
Tools and Accessories
You may need one or more of the following items to install the DAXI:
 #2 Phillips screwdriver for attaching the DAXI to a wall or rack mounting
bracket
 #8 mounting hardware (not provided) for attaching the DAXI to a wall or rack
mounting bracket
 #10-32 screws and nuts (not provided) for securing the DAXI rack mounting
bracket in a rack
 Screwdriver for attaching the DAXI power supply wall bracket
 ASI cable for connecting the DAXI output to the DSAN Aux1 or Aux2 input
 RCA cables for connecting source component audio and video outputs to DAXI
inputs
Weight Specifications
When mounting the DAXI unit or pair of units on a shelf or other flat surface, note
that each DAXI and its power supply together weigh 4.4 lb (2 kg). The mounting
surface should be sturdy enough to hold this weight in addition to any other load
that may be present.
