Installation
Do NOT introduce strain or stress to the fibre optic MPO cable and connectors!

Important! Before starting the installation, please ensure that all devices are powered off.
1. Connect the power supply to both the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX). Ensure the green
power LEDs near the DC connector are turned on (green)
Transmitter: If the graphics source can provide enough power to the TX via the DVI
connector the transmitter's power supply is not required. In this case make sure the green
power LED is illuminated brightly. A dim LED indicates insufficient power from the DVI port.
2. Connect the TX and RX to your DVI devices. A short DVI-D extension cable (maximum
length 2m) or 90 degree angled adapter may be used if required.
3. Remove the dust covers from TX and RX MPO ports and from your MPO Cable and
connect it to TX and RX. Make sure not to introduce dust or scratches to the surfaces!
4. Please make sure that the MPO connectors are fully engaged and then power on your
display and source to complete the installation.
5. If you can't get the proper resolution on the display, please go through the Self-EDID
programming procedure above and repeat the installation procedure again.
