CSX7000 27CSX7000 CABLINGSetup for a Cluster of CSX7000sS ETUP FOR A C LUSTER OF CSX7000STo set up a cluster of CSX7000s, you will need to daisy-chain together each of the system’s VIDEOIN/OUT connectors, as well as each of the system’s IES IN/OUT connectors (if using an EMSprocessor). The first CSX7000 in the cluster is called the primary subsystem, and must host the EMSprocessor (if applicable).VIDEO CONNECTIONSL OCAL C ONSOLE C ONNECTIONTo set up your local console cable connection on the primary subsystem, follow these steps:• You will be supplied with DB-25 male-to-male cables. Connect one end of one of these cablesto the VIDEO OUT connector on the rear of the primary CSX7000.• Connect the other end of the same DB-25 cable to the video/kybd breakout box.• Connect the monitor and keyboard cables from the local console to the breakout box.To connect remaining CSX7000s:• For the second CSX7000, connect one end of another DB-25 cable to the VIDEO OUT connectoron the rear panel of the subsystem.• Connect the other end of the same cable to the VIDEO IN connector of the primary CSX7000.• For the third CSX7000, connect one end of a third DB-25 cable to the VIDEO OUT connector onthe rear panel of the subsystem.• Connect the other end of the same cable to the VIDEO IN connector of the second CSX7000.Continue this daisy-chaining for all remaining CSX7000s in the cluster.R EMOTE C ONSOLE C ONNECTIONTo support a remote administration console, connect the primary CSX7000 to the Local AreaNetwork (LAN) connector on the EMS Processor Board.CONNECTIONS FOR SYSTEM EMS M ONITORINGP RELIMINARIESIn a system with multiple CSX7000s, only the primary subsystem will host the EMS processor. Inorder to have the EMS processor monitor the other CSX7000s in the cluster, each CSX7000 musthave a unique IES address (for identification), and each must be attached to the data highway (EMSbus). Before establishing the bus, you must be sure that the IES addresses are properly set on eachCSX7000. Refer to Setting the IES Address (Monitoring Systems chapter) for details.S ETTING U P THE D ATA H IGHWAYRefer to the following figure. To provide connection from the IES of each subsystem to the EMSprocessor, perform the following:1. First, connect the IES of the primary CSX7000 to the EMS processor:• On the primary CSX7000, (System 1 in the figure,) connect the two RJ-11 connectors labeledIES OUT and IES SUPERVISOR IN.• Set both switches of the IES Supervisor to the ON position (down).
