DigitalMedia™ Input/Output Cards
Installation Guide
Description
DMC I/O (input/output) cards occupy the DM-MD8X8-CPU3, DM-MD16X16-CPU3,
DM-MD32X32-CPU3, and related redundant power supply (RPS) models. The cards
also occupy earlier models of the card-based DigitalMedia™ switchers (DM-MD8X8,
DM-MD16X16, DM-MD32X32, and related RPS models).
Each DMC I/O card occupies a single slot in a DigitalMedia switcher. This document
provides installation instructions for adding or replacing a card.
Adding or Replacing a DMC I/O Card
DMC input cards occupy the leftmost and rightmost slots on the rear of a DigitalMedia
switcher. DMC output cards occupy center slots on the rear of the switcher.
To add or replace a DMC I/O card, perform the following steps and refer to the
illustrations in the righthand column.
1. Do either of the following:
• If adding an I/O card, remove the slot cover of an unused input or output slot as
appropriate by loosening the two thumb screws.
• If replacing an I/O card:
a. Disconnect all cables from the card being replaced.
b. Loosen the two thumb screws that secure the card to the card assembly,
and then slide the card out of the slot.
2. Carefully insert the new card into the left and right guides of the selected slot until
the card is 1/4 inch from the fully seated position.
3. Align the two thumb screws of the card with the corresponding holes in the card
assembly, and then push the card inward until it engages the chassis backplane.
4. Finger-tighten the two thumb screws to secure the card—do not overtighten
the screws.
5. Connect cables to the card.
