INSTALLING YOUR MT107-203 6
Step 1. Turn off power to the MultiTasker
enclosure and remove the input AC power
cord.
Step 2. Locate the MT107-104 currently installed
in the MultiTasker. Verify there is an
empty slot in the enclosure for the new
MT107-203 card.
The empty slot must be directly to the left
of the MT107-104 Matrix Engine. For
example, if the engine is installed in slot 8,
the input card should be installed in the
first empty slot number less than 8.
Step 3. Route the ribbon cables through the notch
in the add-on boards and connect to the
MT107-104 base assembly using the
special high-bandwidth cables provided
with the engine. Make sure the cable
connector is secured in the socket of the
input connector card.
Step 4. Attach the opposite end of the ribbon
cable to the card and carefully slide the
MT107-203 into the empty slot in the
MultiTasker enclosure.
Step 5. Secure the card by tightening the retainer
screws at the top and bottom.
Step 6. Connect the output of a Twisted Pair
transmitter to the inputs of the MT107-203
using ALTINEX’s special cable part
number MS8704TP.
Step 7. Restore AC power to the enclosure.
Step 8. The MT107-203 is now ready for
operation.
