Removing the Matrix 200 Cover
As a preliminary step, follow this procedure when making any hardware
changes which require access to the interior of the Matrix 200 unit.
Caution: The ambient temperature of the rack should not exceed 50° C. To insure proper
ventilation, we recommend that you allow a minimum of one rack unit spacing
above and one below the Matrix 200 if forced air cooling is not used.
1. Turn off input power to the Matrix 200; disconnect power cord(s).
2. If the Matrix 200 is rack-mounted, remove it and place it on a clean
workspace.
3. Remove the six screws that hold the top half of the Matrix cover. Lift the
cover-half straight up to expose the main controller board inside. (See
picture)
Note: When changing a front panel, the
side panels may move when the panel is
off, misaligning the panel screws with the
mounting holes. With the top cover off,
move the sides, if necessary, to align the
holes. After the new front panel is
mounted, replace the top cover.
4. Go to the appropriate installation
procedure.
Caution:
Take care to remove the four spacers
from the rear of the panel.
Changing Matrix Front Panels
All Matrix 200 units ship with either a Front Panel Controller (FPC), a
QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC), or a Blank Front Panel. There
may be a need to change this configuration, such as:
• If the FPC or QS-FPC is to be removed, for example to install it remotely, a
blank front panel must be installed in its place.
• If the Matrix 200 Series Switcher is presently configured with the blank front
panel and the optional FPC or QS-FPC is to be installed.
If there is a need to change this configuration, refer to “Removing the Matrix 200
Cover” (above), and use the appropriate procedure from the following page.
