4.4.2 Static sensitivity
Observe anti-static procedures. Devices can be damaged by static
electricity. Personnel should ensure that they ground themselves and all
tools before touching cards.
An interface card’s components include CMOS chips that are sensitive to static electricity.
Before touching a card first touch a grounded metal object, such as any unpainted surface
on the matrix, to dissipate static electricity. When handling a card, be careful not to bend any
of the card’s connector pins or component leads.
Store spare cards in electrically insulated packaging such as anti-static heavy duty plastic
bags or in unused port card slots (though not fully seated) in the matrix.
4.4.3 Hot patching
Interface cards are hot patchable and self initializing, meaning that a faulty card can be
removed and replaced while the system is powered. This has no effect on any part of the
system’s operation, except the MVX-A16 card’s assigned sixteen ports.
Communication with a card’s connected devices will be interrupted when that card is
removed from the matrix. When the card is replaced, communication is restored.
4.4.4 Configuration
When an interface card is physically installed, its ports must be assigned functions from the
EHX configuration software (see your EHX documentation).
