This chapter introduces the features, specifications, as well as the external components of Avitech Pacific DA-204. 1.1 Package Contents For the modular 1RU Pacific DA-204, the following standard items are included in the shipping package: Avitech Pacific DA-204 Utility Disc (user manual)
DIP switch. Automatically detecting input signal absence, the Pacific DA-204 manages to reroute and switch to the backup source upon signal loss (less than 60 milliseconds to detect and complete signal rerouting). Incorporating adaptive cable equalizer, reclocker and low-jitter cable driver, the Pacific DA-204 ensures long cable runs while maintaining signal integrity for high-resolution videos with up to 4K clarity.

2. Hardware Configuration This chapter discusses the process of installing and removing a card of the 1RU Pacific DA-204. 2.1 Installing a New Card on Blank Slot The Pacific DA-204 1RU chassis accepts the following cards: 12Gbps Card 3Gbps Card To install a card on a blank slot, perform the following steps: Step 1.
Step 2. Pull the card to be removed away from the chassis. Figure 2-6 Remove the Modular Card Step 3. Install another card (or a back plate cover) to the chassis and secure both screws. All cards are hot-swappable and can be installed or removed without powering down the Pacific DA-204.
3. System Setup and DIP Switch Configuration This chapter covers the steps of setting up the Pacific DA-204, as well as its four routing modes configured through the front panel DIP switches. To set up the Pacific DA-204, perform the following steps: Step 1.
