Follow the instructions in General I/O Card Installation to install the I/O cards. Rack Mounting Instructions The FLX-8X8A requires two rack units (2 RU) of space. At least 2 inches of free air space is required on both sides of the FLX-8X8A for proper side ventilation.
FLX-8X8A Installation Guide 4. Secure the I/O card by tightening the thumb screws. 5. Connect the appropriate cabling to the I/O card. 6. Power on the matrix. FLX-BI4 and FLX-BO4 Wiring A compatible HDBaseT with control transmitter or receiver is required to pass the control signals to the source or display devices. To connect the FLX-BI4 to a compatible transmitter or the FLX-BO4 to a compatible receiver, a Cat 5e or greater cable with a TIA-568B crimp termination on the RJ45 connector must be used.
FLX-8X8A Installation Guide FLX-RI4 Wiring For VGA signals, use a standard VGA male to VGA male cable. VGA PORT ON FLX-RI4 For RGBHV signals, use a standard VGA to RGBHV cable. Below is a common pinout of this type of cable.
