Adding Modula Boards - AMX Modula Instruction Manual

Adding Modula Boards

Important: Be sure to install an upgrade board in the correct slot (normally the next empty slot to the
right of the existing input boards or output boards). The board's location must match the system's
configuration information. If a board is installed in the wrong slot, signal routing is affected.
To add a Modula board:
1.
Line up the new board with the board guides that are on the top and bottom of the board slot
(FIG. 110). Note that for 4 RU enclosures, some boards use the bottom board guide only (FIG. 111).

Line up board with guides and push until flush with back
Note: Normally boards for any 4 RU Modula Distribution Matrix are installed the same as the ones
for the 3 RU models. However, for Step 1, boards which do not extend to the top of the face plate
use the bottom board guide only (FIG. 111)

Some Modula boards (4 RU enclosures) use the bottom guide only
2.
Carefully push the board into the enclosure until it snaps into place.
3.
If the new board is the same type as the old board, replace the original metal plate.
Or
If the new board is a different type, install the new metal plate sent with the board.
If the metal plate is not flush with the back of the enclosure, carefully press on the board until it is
fully seated and the plate is level.
