Installation & Service Manual
Card Installation in the Kaleido-X Frame
Each type of card is color-coded according to slot in the frame in which it can be used. See
Slot Color Coding by Card Type
, on page 27. To install a card and its corresponding rear
panel, see
Card Installation and Replacement
KXO-Dual Ouput Card Installation
Output cards can be installed in any of the four available OUTPUT slots inside a Kaleido-X
frame. These slots are color-coded YELLOW on the front and rear panel of the frame.
A Kaleido-X frame must contain at least one output card. In systems with more cards, one
card is considered the
master
card, and the others are
slaves
, from a processing point of
view.
In XAdmin, you can identify which output card is the current

master, by
looking for the card with the word “master” next to its identifier (this is shown in
One card must always be present in either the
Output C
slot or the
Output D / EXP.
slot to
ensure proper operation of the system.
• If the only card in the frame is in
Output C,
then it can only be an output card (KXO-
Dual3 or KXO-Dual).
• If the only card in the frame is in
Output D / EXP.,
then it can be an output card (KXO-
Dual3 or KXO-Dual) or an expansion card (KXO-EXP).
• If both slots Output C and Output D / EXP. are occupied, the card in Output D / EXP.
becomes the
hardware master
.
• If the card in Output D / EXP. is removed, the card in
Output C
will assume the hardware
master role automatically.
In addition, there is always one output card designated as the
software master
(i.e. the card
that has the frame’s IP address). At startup, the software master role is assumed by the first
output card found in the multiviewer, based on the following rules:
• For a simple Kaleido-X (7RU) system: first output card found, starting from Output D /
EXP., then Output C, Output B, and finally Output A.
• For an expansion system: first output card found, starting from Frame A, Output C, B,
and A, and then Frame B, Output C, B, and A, in this sequence.
• If at any time, the master card is removed, a new master is designated, based on the
same rules.
• If a slave card is removed, the master remains unchanged.
• If an output card is added to a system that did not have any so far, the new output card
becomes the master.
• If an output card is added to a system that already has at least one output card, the new
card is a slave.
In the case of an expansion system’s initial configuration, there must be an output card in
Output C of Frame A (see
, on page 41 for details). This card will
start as the
software master
for the whole expansion system, but any other output card in
