handling a card, be careful not to bend any of the card’s connector pins or
component leads.
Store spare cards in electrically insulated packaging, such as anti-static heavy
duty plastic bags or in unused card slots (though not fully seated) in the matrix.
4.4.5 Hot patching (hot plugging)
Interface cards are hot patchable and self initializing, which means that a
faulty card can be removed and replaced while the system is powered. Hot
patching (also known as hot plugging) has no effect on any part of the system’s
operation, except the MVX-A16 analog card’s assigned sixteen ports.
Communication with a card’s connected devices will be interrupted when that
card is removed from the matrix. When the card is replaced, communication is
restored.
4.4.6 Configuration
When an interface card is physically installed, its ports must be assigned
functions in the EHX configuration software (see your EHX documentation).
4.4.7 Checking MVX-A16 analog port card installation
The following front panel lights indicate that an analog port card has been
properly installed in the matrix:
