Kaleido-X (7RU)

Hardware Description & Installation Manual

5 Create a backup of the Frame A database.

At this point, you have backed up the two single-frame databases—these are
important, as they can be used (a) as a reference when re-creating settings not carried
over during the merge, and (b) to split an expansion system back into two independent
frames.

In the following steps, you will convert the currently loaded database (Frame A) into
what will become the database for the entire expansion frame.

6 In XEdit, click the Description/Calibrations tab.

7 Right-click the current multiviewer in the System list, and then click replace with

Kaleido-X (14RU).

8 When prompted to confirm the frame change, click Yes.

The next message prompts you about populating the database with a factory-default
configuration for the selected multiviewer model.

Note:

XEdit must be in OFFLINE mode. It is not possible to merge databases

while online.

Note:

This step is necessary, before merging databases, to specify that the

new database applies to an expansion configuration. In so doing, however,
you will lose certain settings, such as peripheral device configurations.
When the database merge is complete, you will have to re-enter these
settings manually.
