Attaching Cables

When attaching DVI input and output cables, refer to the sheet labeled "AutoPatch Optima Connector
Guide" that shipped with the system. The sheet shows where to attach each cable on the rear of each
enclosure.
Tip: For best results, use cable that meets or exceeds DVI compliant specifications.
Follow the "Connector Guide" exactly; the system was programmed at the factory to operate only as
indicated on the sheet. For multi-enclosure systems, each enclosure will be numbered (e.g., "Chassis 1
of 3") on a label located on the left side (near the power receptacle).
The input connectors are on the left side of each DVI board, and the output connectors are on the right
side. Input and output connectors are numbered separately. The number of DVI connectors depends on
the I/O configuration. The enclosure may also contain I/O boards for additional signal types.
Note: The top row of connectors on the 8x8 DVI board are upside-down relative to the bottom row.
