Right I/O Card Upgrade Kit Installation Page 3 of 4 Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc.
Install the new I/O Card
Step 1: Gently slide the new right I/O card edge connector into the receptacle on the signal
distribution board. Make certain each pin is aligned to its correct receptacle.
Step 2: Secure the right I/O card in place using four of the screws provided in this upgrade kit.
Step 4: Locate the DMX termination switches on the right I/O card. Terminate them to the correct
setting based on your installation. You may refer to the old right I/O card to determine the
previous DMX termination settings.
• Source - reserved for future development
• Off - no termination, DMX will pass by this device to the next DMX device in the data
run
• End - termination is on. Used for the last DMX device (e.g. DRd enclosure) that is
physically connected in the daisy-chained DMX In data run.
Step 5: Reinstall the option card (if used).
a: Align the option card to the mounting studs in the bottom right side of the enclosure.
• Notice the mounting holes on the option card. One is a slotted keyhole, another is
an open ended slot, and the remaining two on the other end of the board are
standard mounting holes used to secure the card in place.
b: Set the rear left stud through the slotted keyhole and align the open ended slot with the
back right side mounting stud.
c: Gently slide the option card toward the right I/O card, aligning the card edge connector to
the receptacle on the right I/O card. Make certain each pin is aligned to its correct
receptacle.
d: Secure the bottom two mounting studs with the screws previously removed.
e: Check each pluggable connector on the option card to ensure it is fully seated.
N o t e : When reconnecting DMX, be sure each connector is replaced to the correct
receptacle. DMX A is the top receptacle, DMX Pass-Thru is the middle receptacle, and
DMX B is the bottom receptacle.
