Installation
The MPCPU unit is installed in a 48.3cm (19in)
equipment rack. Use screws supplied with the rack
or purchase screws separately.
Single MPCPU (A)
Refer to diagrams on pages 3 and 4 while
performing the following procedure. This MPCPU is
designated “A”.
1. Ensure the ribbon cable at the side of the MPU
module is connected to the module itself (and
not hanging).
2. Insert MPCPU A in the equipment rack and
secure using suitable hardware.
3. Connect the power supply to the unit and plug
the supply into a standard ac outlet.
4. Attach the power supply module to the rack
using Velcro material supplied.
5. Connect the MPCPU to the necessary
equipment. See Appendices in this guide for
connection diagrams.
6. Move the AD Data Line switch on the rear of the
MPU to the down position to select data lines 1
and 2, and COM ports 1–16.
7. Connect camera control data cables from the
bay switches and keyboards (for basic matrix
switching bay connections, see Appendix C; for
keyboard, Intellex, and computer connections,
see Appendices D–H).
Second MPCPU (B)
The second MPCPU, designated “B”, is used to
double the AD data lines and RS-232 COM ports,
and as a backup in a hot switch setup (See
Appendix A).
1. Insert MPCPU B in the equipment rack either
just above or just below MPCPU A and secure
using suitable hardware.
2. Connect the ribbon cables between the two
units top to bottom, bottom to top.
3. Connect the power supply to the unit and plug
the supply into a standard ac outlet.

set the same. Also make sure that software
settings for the COM ports are the same for
both MPCPUs.

bay switches and keyboards (for basic matrix
switching bay connections, see Appendix C; for
keyboard, Intellex, and computer connections,
