Installing the Eclipse HX-Median
This chapter describes how to install the Eclipse HX-Median, including the power supplies,
CPU cards, interface cards and modules.
4.1
Before you begin the installation
4.1.1
Check the shipment
When the Eclipse HX-Median is received, inspect the boxes for shipping damage. Report
any shipping damage to the carrier.
Check the packing list and verify that every item on the list has been received. Save all
packing materials in the event that any items need to be returned.
Note:
The Eclipse distributor is not responsible for shipping damage.
4.1.2
Unpacking the System
When the Eclipse HX-Median system is received the circuit cards (CPU cards and interface
cards), power supplies, and rear-connector panels are pre-installed in the matrix chassis.
The customer must supply:
• The standard 19-inch rack in which to install the matrix.
• A personal computer to run the EHX configuration software
Note:
• CAT5 cables (to connect the matrix to user panels, interface modules, and other
devices). Clear-Com recommends shielded cables.
4.1.3
Reconnecting the CPU card backup battery
Note:
Before the Eclipse HX-Median is installed, the CPU card's backup battery must be
reconnected. The matrix will operate if the battery is not reconnected. However, if the matrix
is powered down, all run time information (dynamic assignments, crosspoint states and
levels) will be lost.
The CPU card has a lithium backup battery that powers the CPU memory if the AC electricity
fails. This backup battery is shipped disconnected to preserve battery life.

Recommended PC requirements (for EHX software) respectively.
Observe anti-static procedures. The CPU card can be damaged by static
electricity. Personnel reconnecting the battery should ensure that they
ground themselves and all tools before touching cards.
