INSTALLING YOUR MT107-303 6
Step 1. Turn off power to the MultiTasker
enclosure and remove the input AC power
cord.
Step 2. Locate the MT107-104 currently installed
in the MultiTasker. Verify there is an
empty slot in the enclosure for the new
MT107-303 card.
The MT107-303 must be installed directly
to the right of the MT107-104 Matrix
Engine. For example, if the engine is
installed in slots 9 and 10, the first
MT107-303 output card should be
installed in slot 11, the second in slot 12,
and so on.
Step 3. Route the ribbon cables through the notch
in the add-on boards and connect to the
MT107-104 base assembly using the
special high-bandwidth cables provided
with the engine. Make sure the cable
connector is secured in the socket of the
output connector card.
Step 4. Attach the opposite end of the ribbon
cable to the card and carefully slide the
MT107-303 into the empty slot in the
MultiTasker enclosure.
Step 5. Secure the card by tightening the retainer
screws at the top and bottom.
Step 6. Connect the output of the MT107-303 to
the input of a Twisted Pair receiver using
ALTINEX cable part number MS8704TP.
Step 7. Restore AC power to the enclosure.
Step 8. The MT107-303 is now ready for
operation.
