Installation manual

Authorized Service Personnel ONLY:

Completely remove the card being careful not to touch any electronics on the card or

neighboring cards in the process. Once the card is completely removed, and anti-static

handling precautions are observed, any changes requiring handling of the cards can be

made.

To re-insert the card, align the Card PCB up with matching groves in the slot hardware.

Push the card in smoothly and carefully with the lightest touch possible so as not to flex

the PCB or allow any conductive material to touch the card. When the card is almost

inserted, resistance will increase and the blue “OOS” LED will light. Do not fully insert

the card until this LED lights.

Use the hooks on the ejector levers to leverage the card in against mating holes in the slot

frame. When the ejector levers are fully inserted, they will click and lock. When this

is done for both front and rear cards, it will trigger the software to automatically power

up the card.

Hot swapping is the same for front and rear cards. But, note that the ejectors are levered

differently on the rear cards.

Hot Swapping Controller Card

The Controller Card can be hot swapped. Removing a Controller Card will cause all

the switch cards to bypass their connection to the DSP Bank “A”. This is exactly what

would happen if the power were disconnected.

Firmware Upgrade

Controller and Switch Card firmware can be field upgraded by Ethernet control only.

The current version number will be output the serial port on boot or when commanded.

Ethernet Control

This is used by Emix and MaxAir to control the CO in normal operation. The factory

default IP is fixed as 192.168.0.160.

Using Two Changeover Switches with Emix or Max

When using a system with more than one changeover switch (i.e. changing over 5 or 6

DSP cards), the second changeover switch’s IP address must be set to 192.168.0.161.

This is done at the factory. If for any reason the IP address needs to be set in the field,

the user must install two jumpers, H12 and H14 (if not already installed), on the frame

controller card. Then using FrameMon software (available from Euphonix), change the

address to the new value. Leave the jumpers in place to retain the new value. Removing

the jumpers will reset the IP value back to the factory default of 192.168.0.160.
