Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual
Rack-Mounting DGX 800/1600/3200 Enclosures
CAUTION:
Installation of DGX 800/1600/3200 Enclosures requires a minimum of two people; we recommend using three
people.
1.
Select a position in the rack for the enclosure that is accessible and does not restrict airflow.
2.
Position the enclosure in the rack, and install the rack ear screws on each side (FIG. 16).
Installing Boards, Connecting Devices and Powering up the DGX Enclosure
1.
Audio Insert/Extract Boards only
– Remove the boards (see FIG. 89 on page 179) and set the DIP switches to either
insert or extract audio (see page 178). This is the only mechanism for configuring the insert/extract functionality.
CAUTION:
On systems with DXLink Fiber Input and Output Boards, use the provided cable management bars (or
some other type of cable management system) to avoid damage to the fiber cables.
2.
DXLink Fiber Boards
– Attach the provided cable management bars to the input and output boards (see page 50).
3.
Attach
only
the first two source and destination devices.
If connecting devices to
DXLink Twisted Pair Boards
, the boards require DXLink Transmitters and Receivers. Install
the Transmitters and Receivers between the first two source and destination devices and the DXLink Boards (see
"System Setup with DXLink Transmitters and Receivers" on page 116 and the product’s documentation).
If connecting devices to
DXLink Fiber Boards
, the boards require DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers. Install the
Transmitters and Receivers between the first two source and destination devices and the DXLink Fiber Boards (see
"System Setup with DXLink Fiber, Duplex and Simplex Units" on page 139 and the product’s documentation).
If wiring devices to
Dante Audio Switching Boards
, see page 150.
If wiring devices to
Audio Switching Boards
, see page 164.
If wiring devices to
Audio Insert/Extract Boards
, see page 175.
4.
Attach power cords to all power receptacles on the enclosure, then turn on the entire system (see page 63).
CAUTION:
Use a surge protector and/or an AC line conditioner.
NOTE:
If an Enova DGX 3200 system contains DXLink Twisted Pair Boards, calculate the power draw for the system to
maintain redundancy of power supplies in enclosure and determine how many DXLink Twisted Pair TXs and RXs can
be powered via the switcher.
See
the Power Budget Planning for Systems with DXLink Twisted Pair Boards
for details.
5.
Launch the System Configuration interface via a browser on a PC or tablet (see page 52).
NOTE:
The default Username for the interface is "administrator" and the default Password is "password". After initial
setup, defaults should be changed to ensure system security.
6.
Disconnect the factory default switch and execute a test switch to make sure system is working properly (see
page 58).
7.
When the test switch works correctly, attach the remaining source and destination devices and any additional
required transmitters and receivers. If applicable, wire remaining connectors on Audio Switching Boards or Audio
Insert/Extract Board(s).
Special Information for Audio Expansion Boards
Three types of audio expansion boards are available: Dante Audio Switching Boards (ASB-DAN), Audio Switching Boards
(ASB) and Audio Insert/Extract (AIE) Boards.
For Dante Audio Switching Board information, see page 150.
For Audio Switching Board information, see page 164. If the system contains AIE Boards, the connector default
settings may need to be changed for desired audio insertion or extraction functionality.
For AIE Board information, see page 175.
