Static Sensitivity - ClearCom Eclipse HX-Median User Manual

More ports can be utilized on the Eclipse HX-Median by using higher capacity interface
cards, such as the E-MADI64 card. For example, if you installed 5 E-MADI64 cards, using 64
audio ports, you could add a further 2 MVX-A16 cards.
(5 E-MADI64 cards * 64 ports) + (2 MVX * 16 ports) = 352
If you fitted 4 IVC-32 cards, using 96 ports, you could add 3 more MVX-A16 cards:
(4 IVC-32 cards * 32 ports) + (3 MVX cards * 16 ports) = 176
LMC-64 cards take a port per meter. LMC-64 cards are configured in EHX to 16, 32, 48 or
64 audio meters and the same numbers of ports are allocated at that time.
When an audio level meter is configured using Production Maestro Pro one of the ports
allocated to the LMC-64 card is used. If the same audio level meter is being used by more
than one Production Maestro Pro client this does not increase the port usage as the audio
level data is broadcast.
E-FIB cards use a port per channel. E-FIB cards can be configured to use between 16 and
192 ports.
E-QUE wireless cards (if not directly connected) use six ports per antenna.
E-QUE cards have 60 ports in E1 mode or 48 ports in T1 mode.
Recommendation
Clear-Com recommends fitting E-FIB cards on the right of the matrix frame, and fitting
MVX-A16, IVC-32, E-MADI64, E-QUE E1/T1 direct cards on the left of the frame, where
possible.
Note: Comfort tones use 3 ports which normally default to using the top of the physical port range.
If required, the comfort tones can be redirected to ports above 496 in System Preferences
(for more information, see your EHX documentation).

Static sensitivity

A CPU / interface card's components include CMOS chips that are sensitive to static
electricity. Before touching a card first touch a grounded metal object, such as any unpainted
surface on the matrix, to dissipate static electricity. When handling a card, be careful not to
bend any of the card's connector pins or component leads.
Store spare cards in electrically insulated packaging, such as anti-static heavy duty plastic
bags or in unused card slots (though not fully seated) in the matrix.

Observe anti-static procedures. Devices can be damaged by static
electricity. Personnel reconnecting the battery should ensure that they
ground themselves and all tools before touching cards.
