Chapter 3: Connecting Stage 48
This section describes how to connect and power up the compo-
nents of your system, and how to confirm your system’s available
Stage I/O.
Setting the Device ID
Before connecting and powering up your system, you must set the
device ID for any Stage 48 remote stage boxes you will be con-
necting to Mix Rack or SC48.
To set the Stage 48 device ID:
1 On the first Stage 48, using a small flathead screwdriver set
the ID switch to position 1.
2 On the second Stage 48, using a small flathead screwdriver set
the ID Switch to position 2.
Connecting and Powering Up
Primary and redundant snake connections are made using Ether-
net cables.
To make snake connections and power up your system:
1 For the first Stage 48, do the following:
• For the primary snake connection, connect an Ethernet ca-
ble from the Stage 1 A port on the Ethernet Snake card in
SC48 to the port A on Stage 48.
• To make an optional redundant connection, connect an
Ethernet cable from the Stage 1 B port on the Ethernet
Snake card in SC48 to the port B on Stage 48.
2 To connect a second Stage 48, do the following:
• For the primary snake connect an Ethernet cable from the
Stage 2 A port on the Ethernet Snake card in SC48 to the
port A on Stage 48.
• For the redundant snake connect a cable from the Stage 2 B
port on the Ethernet Snake card in SC48 to port B on
Stage 48.

Do not power up any devices before making Ethernet snake
connections. After connecting the snakes, it is important to
follow the proper power-up sequence.
