Rack Installation and System Setup
Enova DGX 100 Series Switchers can be mounted in a standard EIA 19 in. (48.26 cm) rack.
Required Items
Enclosure
Enova DGX 6400 only – two rack mounting handles (provided)
Standard EIA 19 in. (48.26 cm) rack
Screwdriver
Screws that fit your rack for mounting the enclosure
Power cords (provided, if shipped within the US)
Surge-protector – highly recommended
Optional Items
PC or laptop computer with a null modem cable for communication with the enclosure via the RS-232 serial port
Recommendations
Write the serial numbers (normally located on rear of enclosure) in an easily accessible location before installing
the enclosure in a rack.
Use earth-grounded power cords and equipment with an Enova DGX Switcher.
Attach all power cords to a single surge protector and/or an AC line conditioner.
Apply power to the Enova DGX Switcher before applying power to its source and destination devices.
Installation Procedure
A flow chart showing the installation sequence is in FIG. 14. The procedure below the chart provides general steps with
references to detailed information found in later sections of the manual.
CAUTION:
To prevent overheating and airflow restriction, avoid placing high heat producing equipment directly above or
below the enclosure. The system requires a minimum of one empty rack unit above and below (three empty rack units are
recommended). Verify that the openings on the top and sides of the enclosure are not blocked and do not have
restricted air flow.
