Appendix E – Adding or Replacing Boards
Caution: For SC Optical Boards, do not remove dust plugs from SC fiber connectors until Step 12.
6.
Audio Insert/Extract Board(s) only – See page 105 for information on setting the DIP switches (this
is the only way to configure the insert/extract functionality). Flip the DIP switch for each connector
that needs its setting changed. We recommend writing down the setting for each connector to make
verifying correct audio switching behavior easier in Step 14.
These boards can only be installed in an expansion slot (FIG. 110 and FIG. 111).
7.
Install board in Enova DGX 32 – With the board's extractor handle in the extended (unlocked)
position, line up the board's edges on the board guides that are along the top and bottom of the board
slot (FIG. 110).
Or
Install board in Enova DGX 8/16 – With the board's extractor handle in the extended (unlocked)
position, line up the board's edges on the board guides that are along the left and right of the board
slot (FIG. 111). Note that input boards have board guides at the top of the slot and board guides for the
output boards are at the bottom of the slot due to their reversed orientation in the enclosure.
8. Begin pushing the board into the slot until the extractor handle starts to engage the metal extractor
plate (the extractor handle moves into its folded position).
When the extractor handle starts to lift, flip the handle toward the center of the board until it snaps
into its folded (locked) position, which firmly seats the board.
9.
Fasten the screw (which was removed in Step 4) that holds the board in place. This screw must be
tightened securely before connectors are attached in Step 12.
10. If the enclosure was powered down – Plug the AC power cords back into the power supplies.
11. Verify that the system recognizes the board:
a. Attach a PC to the serial port on the enclosure with an RS-232 null modem cable (pinout for PC to
enclosure: 5 GND to 5 GND, 2 RXD to 3 TXD, and 3 TXD to 2 RXD).
b. Open DGX Configuration Software (or another a terminal emulation program).
c. Select the Terminal tab.
d. Set the COM port and baud rate (the default baud rate for the Enova DGX is 9600)
e. Click Connect.
f. Enter ~scri4v3!
g. Check to be sure the new board is included in the input or output boards list (FIG. 112). (Audio
Insert/Extract Boards are listed under "expansion boards.") If not, re-seat the board and enter the
command again. (Do not disconnect the terminal program until after Step 14 is successful.)
