CHAPTER 1
Introduction

Unpacking the Components

Unpack the contents of the shipping crates and carefully inspect for damage. Notify the freight carrier immediately if any
damage is noted. Check off all items as noted in the packing lists.
SAFETY TIP: Use caution when lifting the system components. A fully loaded ADAM Card Frame, for example, weighs
approximately 75 lbs (34kg).

Mounting the Central Matrix Components

Bolt the ADAM Card Frame into the front of the equipment rack. The frame has no special ventilation requirements, but make
sure the ventilation holes on the front and back are unobstructed. The rack space behind the ADAM Card Frame should be
kept completely clear to allow for connections and the insertion and removal of back cards (at least 2 feet).
Note, there is an LED fail indicator and reset switch located near the top-front of each front card. The LED indicators are only
visible when the center of the card frame is at or above eye level.
Station Breakout Panels and Translation Panels are usually mounted in the back of the equipment rack, and are generally
arranged to allow intercom station cabling to exit the frame at the top or bottom, as required.
Optional UIO-256 Frames should be mounted in the front of an equipment rack. When positioning a UIO-256, consideration
should be given to the visibility of the front panel LEDs, which provide visual indication for any active inputs and outputs.
Optional Program Assign Panels should be mounted in the front of an equipment rack. Generally, a PAP should be located
slightly below eye height when sitting or standing to allow for viewing of the front panel indicators and easy activation of the
front panel controls.
