Installation

Connections

Installation of the X-DVI modules is straightforward and requires minimal 
configuration in most cases. 

• 

Connections at the local module

• 

Connections at the remote module

Note: After all connections are made, power up the monitor connected to the 
remote module, then power up the remote module and finally switch on the 
computer connected to the local module.

INSTALLATION ADVICE

 – Connect the supplied protective ferrites at each 

end of the CATx link cable and avoid disconnecting the CATx link cable 
whilst the product is operational (powered on).

  

Switch settings

Both modules have a block of four mini switches located on their side panels. All 
switches should remain OFF at all times during normal operation. Switch 1 on 
the remote module is used to place both modules into upgrade mode. All other 
switches are not used and should remain OFF at all times.  

Mounting the modules – desk or rack

The X-DVI modules can be situated on a desk or alternatively, for larger 
installations, mounted within an optional rack mount chassis.

Desk mount

Apply the supplied self-
adhesive rubber feet to the 
underside of the module.

Rack mount

Note: The module switches are not accessible once it is inserted into the rack, 
therefore, check all settings before insertion. 

1  Place the rack securing plate (available as a separate kit) onto the front of the 

module and secure it with the two countersunk screws.

2  Orient the X-DVI module on its side so that its labelled face is the correct 

way up.

3  Slide the module into the required rack position. The rectangular cut-out in 

the front upper lip of the rack allows the two screws on the module’s upper 
edge to slide through.

4  The rack mount chassis has a series of holes in its floor that are spaced 

to accommodate the two screws on the module’s lower edge. 
Ensure that the screws correctly locate into the two holes of 
the chosen slot. The rack securing plate on the module 
should now be flush with the front of the rack 
mount chassis.

5  Use the third 

(pan-head) 
screw, in 
the top 
hole of the 
rack securing 
plate to fasten 
the module to 
the rack.
