Matrix 6400 Audio Switcher Upgrade - Changing the Matrix Size

Changing the matrix size of a Matrix 6400 Audio Switcher may require adding or removing input and/or output audio circuit cards. Page 5-9 describes the procedure for determining the required number of input and output cards for the desired matrix size and which connectors the cards should be plugged into. The following procedure describes how to change the matrix size.

1.See Page 5-12 “Software Procedure - Before and After a Hardware Upgrade”. Do steps under “Before Hardware Changes” prior to making any hardware changes.

To ignore step 1 and proceed with the hardware upgrade will require considerable system reconfiguration time. It is highly recommended that you not skip any step.

2.Turn OFF the AC power switch and unplug the AC power cord.

Installing or removing Audio cards with power on may damage the equipment.

3.Plug the audio cards in as required (see page 5-9).

4.Plug the AC power cord in and turn ON the AC power switch.

5.Do the steps under “After Hardware Changes” on Page 5-13.
