The C7130 C/Port connects standard desktop peripherals to the user’s 
ClearCube PC Blade. When used with an R4300 Chassis, the C7130 
provides automatic video tuning to deliver optimal display quality. 
CONNECTIONS
After unpacking the C7130 C/Port and 
power supply, do the following: 
1. Verify that the three color switches on 
the bottom of the C7130 are set to the 
positions marked F, and that the Video 
Sharpness Control is set to the 12 o’clock 
position. Adjust these controls if neces-
sary. See the diagram on the back of this 
sheet. 
2. Connect the desktop peripherals to the 
C7130 as indicated, and then attach the 
power connectors to the peripherals. 
3. Connect the twisted-pair link cable 
(CAT5 or similar) from the PC Blade to 
the CPU connector on the C7130. 
CAUTION: Do not plug a telephone cable or Ethernet cable into the 
C7130. 
4. 
Connect the C/Port power supply module to the power supply con-
nector, and then plug the power supply into the AC power socket. The 
blue power indicator on the front of the C/Port will light. 
5. Examine the Link Status Indicator LED on the front of the C/Port. It 
should be green if connected to a PC Blade that is powered on. 
If the LED is not green, verify that the link cable is connected to the 
C7130, the Chassis has power, the PC Blade is turned on, and the cor-
rect link cable is plugged into the PC Blade. 
6. Set the Blade to the desired resolution and scan rate. For best 
results with an LCD monitor, set the monitor to its native resolution and 
press its Auto-Adjust button. 
A higher quality monitor will provide better video results.

CAUTION: Do not attach the C7130 
C/Port to a telephone jack or other 
powered network connection. This will 
permanently damage the C7130 C/Port. This

Technology limited warranty. 
• Improper connection, mounting, or use of this 
product could result in component failure or 
undesired interference. 
• Allow sufficient space around the C7130 
for ventilation. Do not place the unit in any 
enclosure that restricts airflow around the 
device, or on top of any device that gener-
ates significant heat. 
• To ensure regulatory compliance, use only the 
power supply included in the shipping carton 
with the C7130, or a ClearCube-approved 
equivalent. 
• Do not force a connector into its socket. Do 
not connect to AC power until all other con-
nections are made, including the power 
adapter. 
• Do not connect or disconnect USB devices or 
other peripherals during C/Port or Blade start-
up, or unpredictable results may occur.
