Note: If using a cable management bar, tie the cable to the cable management bar far enough below
the connector to allow for the manufacturer's recommended bend radius. The bend radius for
AMX SC terminated fiber cables is 2 inches (5 cm).
13. Attach cables to the board's connectors* and reconnect any other cables that were disconnected
in Step 3 (if applicable – tie cables to cable management bars).
If the enclosure is not powered down:

14. If the enclosure was powered down – Reapply power.
15. Optional – If you have custom board settings to load to the board, use DGX Configuration Software
to load them now (see page 157).
16. Execute a test switch using a connection on the new board to be sure that video is present at the
destination (Control Panel: press Function Key, Select Key, Input Key, Output Key, and Take Key).

If the test switch does not work, see "Board Troubleshooting" on the next page.
17. Enova DGX 32 only – Replace the connector numbering plate that was removed in Step 2.
* If you need cabling information, see the specific board chapter in this manual.
Important: If for any reason a board slot is left empty, be sure to attach a blank plate to cover it.
Additional Board Information
HDMI and DVI Boards
If the boards do not have custom settings, they will default to the Scaler mode of "Auto" and an override
resolution of 1280x1024. If necessary, DGX Configuration Software is available for configuring these
boards (see page 157). DGX Configuration Software is available at www.amx.com.

For connecting an SC Optical Input Board – Avoid direct eye exposure as you
(a) remove the dust plugs from the SC fiber connectors on the board, (b) remove the dust caps
from the fiber cables, (c) establish the connections, and (d) apply power to the DGX TX
Modules that are connected to the inputs.
For connecting an SC Optical Output Board – Avoid direct eye exposure as you
(a) remove the dust plugs from the SC fiber connectors on the board, (b) remove the dust caps
from the fiber cables, and (c) establish the connections.
Additional testing for Audio Insert/Extract Board functionality:
Insert function – If the DIP switch for the audio connector is set to insert, the video signal

from the corresponding video input or output will carry the inserted audio; check that the
inserted audio is present with the display.
Extract function – If the DIP switch for the audio connector is set to extract, the audio

will be extracted from the corresponding video input or output signal; check the auxiliary
or supplemental audio equipment involved to be sure the extracted audio signal is present
where expected.
