MX Control Card Configuration
Vicon MX Hardware System Reference A-25
General Cautions and Access Instructions
Before touching anything inside the MX Control, use an earth strap
or touch a properly grounded point to dissipate static electricity.
Continue to wear an earth strap or periodically touch the earth point
whenever handling the PCBs inside the MX Control.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-
relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull connectors apart, keep
them evenly aligned to avoid bending any pins. Also, before you
connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly aligned and
oriented.
Handle internal cards with care. Do not touch components or contacts
on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.
To gain access to the internal circuits of the MX Control:
1. Switch off the MX Control through the MX Ultranet or MX Net, or
remove the Lemo plug from the Net Connect socket on the rear
panel of the MX Control.
2. With an M3 Pozidrive™ screwdriver, undo and remove the screws:
six on the top and eight on each side of the cover.
3. Gently lift the top panel upwards and set it aside.
You can now replace the relevant MX option cards, as described in the
following sections.
Installing an MX Option Card
This section describes how to install an analog or audio ADC option
card in the Device 1 or Device 2 slot in the rear of the MX Control. If
you have installed an analog ADC option card, also see section
Connecting Analog ADC Devices via the Patch Panel on page A-27.
To install an MX option card in the MX Control board:
1. Remove blank panel covering the slot if the option card was not
factory installed, or remove an existing option card if you are
replacing it.
