Installation Information
Thank you for selecting Bose® PowerMatch® amplifiers. This document is intended to provide professional installers
with basic installation and safety guidelines for using the AmpLink Digital Input Card accessory with PowerMatch®
amplifiers. Please read this document before attempting installation.
The INPUT RJ-45 connector receives up to 24 digital channels from a Bose AmpLink product. The amp also
supports a THRU path for daisy-chaining all 24 digital audio channels to other Bose AmpLink products, at a
maximum distance of 10 m between products.
CAUTION:
Shielded EIA/TIA 568B straight CAT 5 cable, or equivalent, is required for proper AmpLink
operation. Unshielded cable is not supported and may cause AmpLink audio to operate improperly. Do
NOT connect either of RJ-45 ports to an Ethernet-based network.
To install the AmpLink Digital Input Card:
1. Turn off and unplug the amplifier.
2. Detach the rear expansion slot cover plate by
removing the two screws. See Fig. 1.
3. Align the AmpLink card with the plastic card guides
in the open slot; insert until the rear panel is flush
with the rear of the amplifier. See Fig 2.
4. Screw the card into place.
5. Set the channel select switch appropriately.
6. Plug in the power cord and turn on the amplifier.
7. Using the front panel, navigate to the FIRMWARE
VERSION screen (MAIN MENU>UTILITY>FIRMWARE
VERSION).
8. Check the amplifier LCD screen to view whether the
AmpLink card has been identified. See Fig 3.
9. If the card does not appear in the FIRMWARE
VERSION screen, repeat steps 1 through 7. Be sure
that the card is completely pushed into the slot and
that the card is properly aligned with the card guides.
