Input and Output Boards
The I/O boards on any unit may vary with each installation, depending on desired
configuration and use. All board types have the input and the output connectors clearly
marked, and each board has a 16-position rotary switcher (see m, figure 2) for setting the
I/O plane address. An LED on the board indicates when power is present.
NOTE: Boards with the same plane address switch simultaneously.
Figure 2 shows some, but not all, board variations that can be installed into an SMX frame.
Boards have different combinations of input and output connectors, depending on the
specific board installed. To install any board into an SMX frame slot (see SMX Frame and
I/O Board Installation on page 10).
NOTE: Control signal ground pins may be labeled as or “G”. Audio ground pins may
be labeled as or . The wiring and function are the same, whichever way your product
is labeled.
