Mounting into a Rack
The DMF-CI-8 occupies 2 RU of rack space. Using a #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver (not included),
attach the two included rack ears to the device. Then, mount the device into the rack using four
mounting screws (not included).
Placing onto a Flat Surface
When placing the device onto a at surface or stacking it with other equipment, attach the included
feet near the corners on the underside of the device.
DO Install and Connect the Cards
The DMF-CI-8 provides eight card slots that can be used to accommodate DM-NVX-C series cards
and DMCF 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.
NOTE: In a new installation of the DMF-CI-8, it is recommended that the cards be installed before
applying power to the DMF-CI-8. In an existing installation of the DMF-CI-8, the cards can be added
or replaced without the need to shut down the DMF-CI-8; that is, the cards are hot swappable.
NOTE: 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 included with the DMF-CI-8.
For additional card installation instructions and for information about card connections, refer to the
DM-NV X-350C/DM-NVX-351C DO Guide (Doc. 7975) and the DMCF-TX-4K-SFP/
DMCF-RX-4K-SFP DO Guide (Doc. 7902) at www.crestron.com/manuals.
