4.2.2. Installation of an I/O Board
WARNING!
Please pay attention to the protection against electrostatic discharge
when touching a board. Do not touch the electrical components on the board as the
electrostatic discharge may damage them.
ATTENTION!
Please check the orientation of the slots. The AUX, IB and OB boards are
assigned to dedicated board slots in the matrix.
INFO:
The MX2M series I/O boards are hot-swappable devices. The matrix switcher is not required
powering off before the board replacement procedure.
The steps of replacing an auxiliary, input or output board are the followings:
Step 1.
Loose the fixing screws and remove the blank cover or the previously installed board.
Step 2.
Pull out the board and put it in an ESD-safe bag. Take the board by touching the metal plate only, to
prevent ESD-caused problems.
Step 3.
Place the board into the desired empty slot. Place the edge of the panel carefully to the guide rails
on the two sides of the slot. Gently push the board in until it stops, then press the plate at the
indicated places at once. Thus, the connector of the board and the motherboard will be put together.
Step 4.
Tighten the two screws by hand and fix them by a screwdriver with PZ1 head.
Step 5.
Connect the necessary cables to the boards and switch on the matrix.
Step 6.
Wait until the booting procedure of the board is completed.
INFO:
If the firmware version of the installed I/O board is different than the firmware version of the matrix
frame, it is being upgraded by the matrix automatically.

PSU Installation
Two dedicated slots are available in the matrix frame for the MX2M-PSU-500-F power supply units. The PSU
drawer of the frame is hot-swappable, thus, you do not have to switch off the matrix to replace or install a
PSU.
The Steps of the PSU Replacement
Step 1.
Push down the fixing plate on the PSU.
Step 2.
Pull out the PSU using the handle.
