To set up a cluster of CSX7000s, you will need to daisy-chain together each of the system’s VIDEO
IN/OUT connectors, as well as each of the system’s IES IN/OUT connectors (if using an EMS
processor). The first CSX7000 in the cluster is called the primary subsystem, and must host the EMS
processor (if applicable).

To set up your local console cable connection on the primary subsystem, follow these steps:
•
You will be supplied with DB-25 male-to-male cables. Connect one end of one of these cables
to the VIDEO OUT connector on the rear of the primary CSX7000.
•
Connect the other end of the same DB-25 cable to the video/kybd breakout box.
•
Connect the monitor and keyboard cables from the local console to the breakout box.
To connect remaining CSX7000s:
•
For the second CSX7000, connect one end of another DB-25 cable to the VIDEO OUT connector
on the rear panel of the subsystem.
•
Connect the other end of the same cable to the VIDEO IN connector of the primary CSX7000.
•
For the third CSX7000, connect one end of a third DB-25 cable to the VIDEO OUT connector on
the rear panel of the subsystem.
•
Connect the other end of the same cable to the VIDEO IN connector of the second CSX7000.
Continue this daisy-chaining for all remaining CSX7000s in the cluster.

In a system with multiple CSX7000s, only the primary subsystem will host the EMS processor. In
order to have the EMS processor monitor the other CSX7000s in the cluster, each CSX7000 must
have a unique IES address (for identification), and each must be attached to the data highway (EMS
bus). Before establishing the bus, you must be sure that the IES addresses are properly set on each
CSX7000. Refer to
Setting the IES Address
(Monitoring Systems chapter) for details.

Refer to the following figure. To provide connection from the IES of each subsystem to the EMS
processor, perform the following:
1.
First, connect the IES of the primary CSX7000 to the EMS processor:
•
On the primary CSX7000, (System 1 in the figure,) connect the two RJ-11 connectors labeled
IES OUT
and IES SUPERVISOR IN.
•
Set both switches of the IES Supervisor to the ON position (down).
