A-16 Vicon MX Hardware System Reference
Installing an MX Option Card
This section describes how to install an analog or audio ADC option
card in the Device 1 or Device 2 slot in the rear of the MX Control. If
you have installed an analog ADC option card, also see section
Connecting Analog ADC Devices via the Patch Panel on page A-17.
To install an MX option card in the MX Control board:
1. Remove blank panel covering the slot if the option card was not
factory installed, or remove an existing option card if you are
replacing it.
2. Locate the female mating sockets on the new MX option card. For
example, the analog ADC option card shown in Figure A-3 has 60-
pin and 80-pin female mating sockets underneath the card.

3. Gently but firmly push these female sockets on the MX option
card into the corresponding male plugs on the designated area of
the MX Control board so that the ADC card edge socket is the only
part of the card exposed outside of the MX Control in the Device 1
and/or Device 2 slots:
• You can install up to two analog ADC cards in the Device 1 and/
or Device 2 slots.
• You can install one audio ADC card either in the Device 1 or
Device 2 slot. The other device slot cannot be used, so is
covered by a blank panel.
