Step 3. Connect one or more Display Devices and Establish Video Output
Connect a fiber display device to the first fiber output on the CXPS. Connect additional
display devices as desired. Using the test fiber input connected in Step 2, use serial
commands to switch the input to each connected fiber display device. Verify that all video
displays or output devices (such as DVD recorders, etc) are functioning correctly.
Next, connect a DVI display device to the first DVI output on the CXPS. Connect additional
display devices as desired. Using the test DVI input connected in Step 2, use serial
commands to switch the input to each connected fiber display device. Verify that all video
displays or output devices (such as DVD recorders, etc) are functioning correctly.
Step 4. Test all Remaining Input Channels
Verify that all remaining input channels are functioning properly. Using the test fiber and
DVI video sources, connect to each input channel on your CXPS and then route the signal to
each connected display device.

FINAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The final system installation should be performed after you have completed the system test
installation. You should have all of your video sources, cabling equipment, and display
devices assembled in preparation for the final system installation.
The final system installation consists of four steps. These steps are described below.
Step 1. Place the CXPS into the Rackmount or Other Permanent Location
The CXPS can be installed in a 6U rackmount. Place your unit in its permanent location
before making any other system connections. Be sure to follow the safety warnings
regarding proper ventilation of the equipment.
Step 2. Connect all Video Inputs
Connect all fiber and DVI sources directly to the CXPS input channels. All non-DVI, non-
fiber sources must first be converted to DVI using a Black Diamond Video DVI Converter.
See “Using DVI Converters” on page 18 for more information.
NOTE:
This is an overview of system installation to help inform and prepare you for
the actual installation process. For detailed installation instructions, see
Chapter 5, “Installation Instructions.”
IMPORTANT!
A 1U air gap must be allowed for above and below the CXPS for proper air
flow and cooling. Failure to do so may result in excessive heating and poor
system performance.
