Mounting the SMX

Use two screws on each side of the
SMX to attach the front panel to a
rack. See the SMX User Guide for
other mounting considerations
(

www.extron.com

).

Installing New Boards

NOTE: All boards are hot-swappable, and can be installed

without shutting down the SMX or removing the power.

1.

Take note of how many slots your board needs to occupy.

a.

If necessary, remove as many blank panels as needed.

b.

If the new board is replacing an existing board, remove all
cables from the currently installed one and loosen the two
outer screws to remove the board.

2.

Slide the I/O board into the open slot, carefully aligning it with
the plastic slides and the power source in the frame. Push it firmly
into place.

3.

Tighten the screws on each end of the board.

NOTE: Use a tool to fully tighten the screws after initial

installation and subsequent removal and replacement
of the boards.

4.

Set the plane address with the rotary encoder (see

Setting Plane

Addresses

on page 4).

SMX Frame Rear Showing Board Installation

New output boards are autodetected and take approximately
20 seconds to initialize. If the unit is connected by RS-232 or RS-422,
Telnet, or LAN, a Reconfig notice is shown.
Any new boards are now ready for cabling and configuration.
