MLN-192 Option Card Installation

The MLN-192 Milan Option Card for the VENUE E6L engine is 
compliant with MILAN

 interoperability specifications, and 

provides AVB connection to 3rd-party Milan-compliant devices. 

E6L-112 installation varies slightly from E6L-192/144, as noted 
throughout this guide.

VENUE software 7.0 or higher. After install-

ing the MLN-192 card you must update its firmware as described 
in this guide.

Removing the E6L Engine Core

MLN-192 cards are installed in the E6L engine core, which slides 
out of the E6L chassis. 

To remove the E6L engine core

1

Put on your anti-static wrist band and configure it according to 
its instructions.

2

Shut down your system, and disconnect any cables connected 
to your E6L engine.

3

Place your E6L on a table or other flat surface that provides 
enough room for the E6L engine core to be removed comfort-
ably. Make sure your surface is clear of any debris.

4

On the back of the E6L, loosen the four thumbscrews that se-
cure the core to the engine chassis.

Images shown in this guide (such as cable colors or hardware 
configuration) may not exactly match your E6L. 

Unlike AVB-192 and WSG-HD cards, no internal Ethernet 
jumper cables are required for the MLN-192 card.

If your E6L engine is installed in a rack and there is enough 
room inside the rack to access the inside of the core, instead 
of completely removing the core you can slide it out until it 
catches, and then proceed with installation.
