6.

When all of the video (and audio) modules are mounted, reconnect the bus

 

 

 

 

ribbon cable to each board by aligning the holes in the

 

 

Ribbon cable

connector with the pins in the bus connector on each

 

 

 

 

board, and pressing evenly until the receptacle tabs lock

 

 

 

 

into place. Ensure that the bus ribbon cable is not twisted

 

 

 

 

 

Self-latching receptacle

and that the red line on the ribbon cable is toward the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

center of the video and audio boards.

7.

If the size of the video matrix was changed (8 x 4 configuration to 12 x 8

 

configuration, for example) or if video or audio capabilities were added or

 

removed, see Setting the front panel jumper, on page B-10.

Ensure that tools and hands are outside the switcher before powering up the switcher.

8.Attach the power cord to the switcher and to the AC power source. Make sure the switcher is working properly. Unplug the AC power cord.

If, on power-up, the switcher’s Power LED blinks four times, pauses, and blinks four times again, there is a conflict in the jumper settings. Remove the power cable, recheck the jumper settings, and power the switcher up again.

9.

Reinstall the switcher’s top cover. See Closing the switcher on page B-3.

10.If the switcher was removed from a rack, reinstall the switcher in the rack.

11. Reconnect the AC power, input, and output cables.

Using an Extron BNC extraction tool (part #100-096-01) or a 9/16”, deep well

 

socket with thin walls, remove all hex nuts securing the video module to be

 

removed to the rear panel of the switcher. Gently pull the video module

 

forward so the BNC connectors clear the holes in the rear panel of the

 

switcher. Lift the video module out of the switcher.

4.

If there are no further module installations or removals to be performed,

 

 

 

 

 

 

reconnect the bus ribbon cable to each board by aligning the

 

 

Ribbon cable

holes in the connector with the pins in the bus connector

 

 

 

 

 

 

on each board, and pressing evenly until the receptacle

 

 

 

 

 

 

tabs lock into place. Ensure that the bus ribbon cable is
