System Connection - Euphonix CO-600 Install And Operation Notes

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.
Install a Switch Front Card in an available front slot on the left side of the chassis. Make
sure the ejector clips are completely latched. Use the same care as when inserting the
Controller Front Card. In addition, note that due to the card's size, it is easier to flex the
card and cause possible shorting or mechanical damage.
Install a Switch Rear card (CO 602) in the matching rear slot of the chassis as the front
card. Make sure the ejector clips are completely latched. Use the same care as when
inserting the Controller Rear Card. In addition, note that due to the card's size, it is
easier to flex the card and cause possible shorting or mechanical damage.
The Switch Rear Card can be installed with cables pre-connected, but this can make
it easier for the card to be mis-aligned or improperly inserted. Use caution and avoid
excessive force.

System Connection

For each group of 4 MADI Ins and Outs, connect a 4x4 MADI D-Shell connector from a
DSP Card in the primary DSP unit to the Bank A connector of a switch card in the COS
Chassis. Connect a 4x4 MADI D-Shell connector from redundant DSP unit to the Bank
B connector of the same switch card. Connect a third 4x4 MADI D-Shell connector
from the middle I/O connector to the desired outboard MADI gear.
If network-based status and control of the COS is desired, connect a standard Ethernet
cable from the Controller Rear Card's RJ45 jack to a network switch, router, or directly
to the studio computer.
If serial RS-232 setup of the COS is desired, connect a DB-9 M-F cable (straight thru
cable) from the Controlled Rear Card's DB-9 jack to a computer. If long distances are
required, suitable RS-232 to RS-422 converters should be used to extend the range.
If GPIO control of the COS is desired, connect the appropriate GPIO control devices
or cables to the Sub-DB-15 jack on the Controller Rear Card. This will likely require
custom wiring on the mating connector.
