4.4 Installing interface cards
4.4.1 Installing an interface card to the matrix
Note:
Before installing an interface card, ensure that the card’s associated rear-connector panel
has already been installed.
To install an interface card:
1. Carefully place the card in the appropriate slot. Ensure that the card is aligned with
the left and right precision guides (the top of the card aligns with the left of the slot).
2. Push the card toward the backplane connectors.
3. When the card has almost reached the backplane connectors, open the two ejector
tabs, allowing them to clear the edges of the matrix. Gently insert the card further
until it touches the backplane connector guides.
4. Gently close both ejector tabs at the same time, which will propel the card into the
backplane connectors.
4.4.2 Removing an interface card from the matrix
To remove an interface card from the matrix:
1. Hold the card in place in the matrix.
2. The two card ejector tabs are located to the left and right of the card. To remove a
card, open the two ejector tabs at the same time until the card unseats from its
backplane connectors.
3. Pull the card out of the matrix.
4.4.3 Combining interface cards in the matrix
The Eclipse HX-Deltacan allocate up to 496 audio ports in total. However, the number of
ports that you actually use will depend on the combination of interface cards you fit to the
matrix.
An MVX-A16 card uses 16 audio ports.
An E-MADI64 card is configured in EHX to use either16, 32, 56 or 64 audio ports.
An IVC-32 card uses 32 audio ports from the total.
Fitting 4 MVX-A16 cards to the Eclipse HX-Delta would fill the frame, but would only use 64
ports from the possible - ports available:
4 MVX cards * 16 ports = 64
