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
