Configuring Card Slots
WARNING!
Power down the unit before opening the device!
Disconnect the device’s power supply.
Opening the Device
Power down the unit before opening the device! Disconnect the power supply.
To open the device cover, locate the four (4) screws located on the sides of the device.
Using a Philips screwdriver, remove each screw located on the sides of the device. (4 screws)
Place loose screws in a safe and dry place.
Lift the top plate of the device and slide the plate out.
Once you are done configuring your device, line up the top plate with the device and slide the
plate back onto the device.
Secure the four (4) screws back into place. The screws should fit easily.
Do not apply excessive force to secure screws. If you are having trouble securing the top plate,
check the alignment of your modular cards.
Remove Plug-in Cards
When handling modular cards, please handle with care. The connectors are fragile. Do not apply
excessive force. Never pull straight up or push straight down.
To remove plug-in cards, place your fingers on the front and back of the modular card. Using a
rocking motion, gently lift each side of the modular card until the card is removed.
Keep loose modular cards protected in a safe and dry place.
Insert Plug-in Cards
When handling modular cards, please handle with care. The connectors are fragile. Do not apply
excessive force. Never pull straight up or push straight down.
To insert plug-in cards, hold the front and back of the modular card. With the connectors pointing
downwards, line up the card connectors with the pinholes in the empty card slot.
Using a rocking motion, push gently on each side of the modular card until the card is secured in
place.

Device Connectivity
Xilica processors and control devices run on a network based infrastructure and are set up
and controlled by a host computer using the Xilica Designer software.
What’s in the Box
• XIOhardwaredevice
• 90-240VAC50-60Hzpowercable
What you need to Provide
• Computer
• Networkinterface(Router,PoEswitch)
A router is used for IP assignment and easy connectivity to computer and control devices.
A PoE switch is used for controllers if local power is not used.
•Ethernetcables
All wired connections use a standard RJ45 Cat 5/6 (Ethernet) connection.
Connecting Devices
A network connection can be made between the computer and processor using:
A) DHCP enabled Router or Server/Router combination (Recommended)
With DHCP enabled routers and servers, the processor will automatically obtain the IP
address upon power up and connection. When other Xilica wall controls will also be used, it is
recommended to use a router and PoE switch. This combo provides DHCP as well as power to the
wall controls. Linksys routers and Netgear switches are recommended.
B) A non-DHCP direct connection or indirect connection via an Ethernet switch
When the processor is connected directly to a computer or indirectly via a switch/hub and DHCP is
not available, the connection process is not automatic.
7
A) Connecting using a DHCP enabled router/server
Note: DHCP enabled Router/switch gear should be turned on first, with all Ethernet cables
connected to the hardware prior to Powering ON the hardware. This will allow for proper IP
address distribution to the Hardware.
First, Power ON the router/switch gear.
Then connect an Ethernet cable from the host computer to the DHCP enabled router.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the router to the XIO device.
Then connect the external power supply to the XIO device.
Switch ON the device.
B) Non-DHCP direct connection or indirect connection
Non-DHCP connections are not automatic. Non-DHCP connections must be manually configured.
Please refer to Xilica Designer help file or Xilica FAQ for further assistance.
