Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Install and Operation Notes Document Revision: A Part Number: 840-10493-01 Release Date: December 2007 Euphonix, Inc. 220 Portage Ave. Palo Alto, California 94306 Phone: 650-855-0400 Fax: 650-855-0410 Web: http://www.euphonix.com e-mail: info@euphonix.com...
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The lighting flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Important Note! Due to the “Hot Swap” capabilities of all card components in the COS chassis, power can be applied to the unit at any time before after or during card installation. It is recommended, however, that this feature only be used when necessary.

Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Overview The change over redundancy system allows running a backup DF-66 SuperCore in parallel with the primary unit. The change over switch distributes all audio signals to both the primary and backup DSP cores. If the diagnostics system detects a fault, or even a potential primary DF-66 failure, the entire output audio path (including all I/O devices) is switched over to the backup system.

Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy The CO-600 has two primary functions: 1) a MADI splitter that provides 2 MADI outputs for each MADI input and 2) a MADI switchover that switches each MADI output between Primary and Backup MADI sources. Figure 1 provides a conceptual block diagram of signal flow and behavior.
Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Single CO-600 Figure 2 Chassis Management Provision for the optional CM604/CM606 is be provided. The CM604 queries information such as field replaceable unit status, presence, and performs health monitoring of system components. It also controls, when present, the power-up sequencing of each component and the power-on/off to each slot.
Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Front and Rear Panels Figure 3 Front Panel The front of the unit consists of eight card slots in a 2U chassis. The four full-length slots on the left side can be filled with change over cards. The four half-length slots on the right side are used for two hot swappable power supply modules, a frame controller card and a SNMP chassis management card.
Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy The frame controller connections consist of an Ethernet port, serial port and GPIO. They can also be set to a “dead man’s switch” mode where an interruption in the input logic signal would toggle the change over switch to the other output.
Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Detailed Description and Service Info The Change-Over System (COS) Chassis is designed to provide automated or manual switching between redundant MADI streams in a critical production environment. It does this by grouping redundant MADI media in sets of 4 MADI ins and 4 MADI outs to be switched as a whole, then allowing up to four groups be switched by a single chassis.
Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Switch Cards Zero to four Switch Cards(CO 601) can be installed in a chassis. Switch cards can be installed in any order or in any available positions. However, it is generally easier to operate the COS if they are installed without gaps from the bottom to the top.
Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Basic Operation Power Supplies Power the COS unit up by plugging it into a power source. There is no power switch. On the Power Supply Cards, check that the green “Power Good” LED is lit and the Red “Halt”...

Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Out-of service (OOS) LED The out-of service LED indicates the card is partially ejected or the operator has intentionally disabled the card. No other LEDs should be on when the “OOS” LED is lit.
Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Front Panel Switch Each Switch Front Card has a 3-position toggle switch, which allows for forcing either DSP Bank connector to be connected to the I/O connector. It also has a center “Auto”...

GPIO pin being grounded, or never by a GPIO pin. The pin selection is configured via Ethernet or serial control using FrameMon Software (available from Euphonix). The global back plane switch state is not dependent on which Switch Cards are installed. It can be set and cleared with no Switch Cards installed.

Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy The GPIO output pins will not function (logic high) when the Controller Card is “out-of- service”. The GPIO output pin states are not dependent on which or any Switch Cards being installed.
Euphonix CO-600 Change-Over System For New Core DF66 Redundancy Completely remove the card being careful not to touch any electronics on the card or neighboring cards in the process. Once the card is completely removed, and anti-static handling precautions are observed, any changes requiring handling of the cards can be made.
