Quick Start

Install and Connect the Cards

The DMF-CI-8 provides eight card slots that can be used to

accommodate DM NVX™ Series cards.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to a card that is connected to cables,

disconnect all cables from the card before installing the card into a

card slot or removing the card from a card slot.

NOTES:

l In a new DMF-CI-8 installation, Crestron recommends that

cards be installed before applying power. In an existing

DMF-CI-8 installation, cards can be added or replaced without

the need to shut down the DMF-CI-8 (the cards are hot

swappable).

l When installing cards into a partially populated DMF-CI-8,

install the cards into slots 5-8 before using slots 1-4. Doing so

ensures better cooling and lower power consumption. In

addition, always cover empty slots using the filler plates

provided with the DMF-CI-8.

The illustration below provides a view of a fully occupied DMF-CI-8

containing eight cards.

Apply Power to the Device

To apply power to the DMF-CI-8, connect the included AC power cord to

the AC power inlet on the device and to an AC power outlet.

Configure the Cards

For configuration information, refer to the Web Interface Guide for the

corresponding DM NVX card at www.crestron.com/manuals.

Configure the Device

To configure the DMF-CI-8, use the menu on the front panel display.
