Installation

Important: Please keep the installation procedure below. Improper or no operation may result if the start-up sequence is not correctly followed.

  • Step 1: Carefully unpack the contents in the shipping group and prepare DisplayPort modules which will be connected to BR-500.
  • Step 2: Turn to the back side of the DisplayPort module and remove top two (2) screws.
  • Step 3: Carefully place the push button of the DisplayPort module first to the bracket provided. The push button of the module MUST be pushed by the little bump of the bracket so that the latches can be crawled inside. Make sure that the top line of the housing is aligned with the bracket so that the head of the module can be perfectly fit in to the BR-500 port.
  • Step 4: Attach the slot on top to close the module inside the bracket. Make sure that the curved part at the bottom is directed upward as shown in Fig 3. Then insert the two screws that had been removed in “Step 2” back to the same place, passing through the slot.
  • Step 5: Turn the bracket facing up, and tighten the rest screws (4) into the bracket.
  • Step 6: Stick the two (2) Heat sinks on the bottom of Module bracket. Make sure you align perfectly with the bottom screw holes so that it has enough space to be installed to BR-500.
  • Step 7: Mount the Module bracket on BR-500 and connect optical cable to each DisplayPort module.
  • Step 8: Connect the premium graded DisplayPort 1.2 copper cable to the DisplayPort receptacles in front of BR-500 device.
    • Opticis has tested several trials with different copper cables including (Startech, Kramer, and Lindy-Anthra line). We recommend to use Display 1.2 copper cable up to 3 meters (9.84ft).
  • Step 9: BR-500 offers two power inputs BI050S12F02 for your preference. Connection with one power cable is still enough for the operation. BR-500 offers dual-power supply for load-sharing and power redundancy.
