Installation
The Cougar Digital Video Matrix Switcher is comprised of a frame, back-
plane, a 32X32 Digital Video Matrix Card, up to two System Controller
Cards, and up to two PS70V Power Supplies. Prior to discarding packing
material compare the parts received against the packing list. Carefully
inspect the layers of packing material for any components which may
have been overlooked during the initial unpacking.
The Cougar Digital Video Routing Switcher may be located anywhere
power is available. However, units should be mounted as close as pos-
sible to their associated equipment to minimize cable runs. Forced air
cooling is provided by a small fans located at the back of the unit. Care
should be taken not to block airflow around these fans. Installation should
be in an area where the ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C
(104°F) inside the equipment rack.
The Cougar Digital Video Routing Switcher is rack mountable in a stan-
dard 19" equipment rack. Sufficient space must be provided behind the
equipment racks to allow for the control cables and power cable. All
mounting holes should be utilized and mounting hardware tightened
securely. As with all equipment installed in a rack, the bottom screw on
each side should be installed before proceeding with the remainder of the
screws. Then all screws should be securely tightened. Support the Cougar
Digital Switcher's bottom while installing it in the rack. Figure 2-1 illustrates
chassis installation in the equipment rack. NOTE: Remove the power
supply retaining screws before installing the Cougar Digital Video Routing
Switcher in an equipment rack.
To install a Cougar Digital Video Routing Switcher in an equipment rack
follow these steps:
1. Align the frame with the slotted opening in the rack.
2. Install the bottom screws first.
3. Install the two top screws
4. Tighten all four screws securely.
