Attaching Inputs & Outputs
Input and output connectors are the attachment points for source and destination devices that connect to
the system. Looking at the rear of the enclosure, the inputs (for sources) are on the left side of each
board, and the outputs (for destinations) are on the right side of the board.
The number and type of connectors depend on the number and type of input/output boards. Input and
output connectors are numbered separately. The connector numbers for each board read left to right and
are either directly above or below the connector (or connector pair). This numbering pattern continues
on each board (FIG. 13).
For control purposes, signals can only be routed from inputs on one board to outputs on the same board
because each board in an Optima has its own switching matrix.
When attaching input and output signal cables, refer to the sheet labeled “AutoPatch Optima Connector
Guide” that shipped with the system. The guide shows where to attach each signal cable on the rear of
each enclosure.
The system’s serial number is in two places on the Optima enclosure; left rear and left
side (near the power receptacle). The label on the side also has the enclosure number, referred to as the
chassis number. Follow the guide exactly; the system was programmed at the factory to operate only as
indicated on the “Connector Guide.”
Before connecting all input and output cables, attach only the first two inputs and outputs and
execute a test switch (see
page 37). When the test switch is successful, attach the rest of the input and
output cables.
For board connector information and specifications, see
the specific board chapter in this manual.
For information on adding or replacing boards, see “Appendix D – Adding or Replacing I/O Boards” on
page 63.
