Installation

Hot Plugging

The ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL supports hot plugging - components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the ports without the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging to work properly, however, the procedures described below must be followed:

Switching Station Positions:

You can switch station positions by simply unplugging from the old parent and plugging into a new one. After you do, in order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must reset the Station IDs in the OSD. See RESET STATION IDS, p. 4-11, for details.

Note: If the computer’s Operating System does not support hot plugging, this function may not work properly.

Hot Plugging CPU Ports:

In order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must manually reconfigure the OSD to reflect the new Port information. See the F3 SET (p. 4-6) and F4 ADM (p. 4-8), functions for details
