IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE 32X32 MODULAR MATRIX • There is no internal scaling in the 32x32 Modular Matrix. All of the attached monitors must be able to display the output resolutions of the source devices. For maximum compatibility it is recommended that only one compatible/common resolution be used by all of the source devices. • Routing features can be accessed using the serial control interface or via Telnet. See page 37 - 74 for more information.

APPENDIX Card Removal and Installation Although each 32x32 Modular Matrix is sold pre-configured, both input and output cards can be removed or added to fit the needs of the application. Each module can easily be removed and installed without using any special tools. IMPORTANT: Modules are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) which can damage the module. Avoid touching the module contacts or the components on the module. Always hold modules by the edges or by the knobs on the front of the module.
PAGE 102
APPENDIX 4. Grab the knobs on both sides of the card, between the thumb and index finger, and gently pull to remove the card from the matrix, as shown on the next page. If a cover plate is being removed, then loosen the fastening screws on both sides of the cover plate and gently remove the cover plate. 5. Locate the grooved metal track on either side of the expansion bay. Upper rail Groove Lower rail 6.
PAGE 103
APPENDIX 7. Position either hand on both sides of the matrix and firmly push the card with both thumbs until it snaps in place. 8. Secure the card by hand-tightening the fastening screws. Do not overtighten the screws. To prevent damage to the screws, do not use pliers or other high-torque devices.
