10.Replace the top cover on the USP 405, and fasten it with the screws that were removed in step 3.

11.Rack or furniture mount the scaler, and reconnect the AC power cord.

Serial Digital Interface (SDI) Card Installation

The optional SDI input and output cards may be installed in the USP 405 if it does not already have an input or output for a serial digital interface signal. We recommend that you send the unit to Extron for service and updates. The following picture shows the USP 405 with both input and output SDI cards installed.

Changes to electronic components must be performed by authorized service personnel only.

Follow these steps to install an SDI card in the USP 405:

1.Disconnect the AC power cord from the USP 405 to remove power.

To prevent electric shock, always unplug the USP from the AC power source before opening the enclosure.

2.Remove the USP from the rack or furniture.

3.Remove the cover of the USP 405 (the top half of the enclosure) by removing the screws, then lifting the cover straight up. See the top cover removal diagram in the previous “Firmware Upgrade Installation” section.
