Removing and Installing a Module

The I/O module, power supply, fan assembly, control card, and audio card can all be
replaced by the user. Input/Output modules can be added or removed to increase or
decrease the I/O configuration (size) of the switcher. The control card can be replaced or
upgraded with the IPCP Pro Q xi controller. The power supply, fan assembly, and audio card
can be replaced.

WARNING: The FOX3 matrix switchers fiber optic I/O boards output continuous
invisible light (Class 1 rated), which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution.
Do not look into the fiber optic cable connectors or into the fiber optic cables
themselves. Plug the attached dust cap into the optical transceiver when the fiber
optic cable is unplugged.
continue, qui peut être dangereuse pour les yeux ; à utiliser avec précaution.
Ne regardez pas dans les connecteurs de câble fibre optique sur le panneau arrière
ou dans les câbles fibre optique eux-mêmes. Branchez la protection contre la
poussière dans l'ensemble émetteur/récepteur lorsque le câble fibre optique est
débranché.
As factory configured, the fiber optic I/O boards are either 100 percent singlemode
•
or 100 percent multimode, but a fiber optic transceiver module (one input and one
output) of one transmission mode can be removed and replaced with a block of the
other transmission mode.
Transmission mode transceiver modules can be mixed on a fiber optic I/O board,
provided each fiber cable and connected devices are the appropriate transmission
mode for the transceiver module. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and
multimode cable has an orange or aqua jacket.
For proper cooling and air flow, boards or blank panels should be installed in all
•
locations during normal switcher operations.
• The I/O boards are hot-swappable. You do not need to power down the switcher to
remove or install an I/O board.
• The diagram shows the 40x frame, which is similar in function to all matrix frames.
