Before you start installing the DAXI, make sure you have all of the tools and 
accessories needed for installation. 

No tools are needed when mounting the DAXI on a shelf or countertop. Wall or rack 
mounting requires screwdrivers of the appropriate type and size. Wall mounting 
may also require tools for drilling holes into the mounting surface. 

The main accessories needed for installation are the cables that interconnect various 
source components to the DAXI, and an ASI cable that connects the DAXI to the 
DSAN unit. 

You also need to know how the host DSAN maps EIA channels to auxiliary inputs. 
You can obtain this information from plant documentation or by examining the 
DSAN configuration through its command line interface (CLI). For additional 
information on CLI, see the Cisco DSAN System Installation and Operation Guide, part 
number 4032302. 

 

You may need one or more of the following items to install the DAXI: 

 

#2 Phillips screwdriver for attaching the DAXI to a wall or rack mounting 
bracket 

 

#8 mounting hardware (not provided) for attaching the DAXI to a wall or rack 
mounting bracket 

 

#10-32 screws and nuts (not provided) for securing the DAXI rack mounting 
bracket in a rack 

 

Screwdriver for attaching the DAXI power supply wall bracket 

 

ASI cable for connecting the DAXI output to the DSAN Aux1 or Aux2 input 

 

RCA cables for connecting source component audio and video outputs to DAXI 
inputs 

 

When mounting the DAXI unit or pair of units on a shelf or other flat surface, note 
that each DAXI and its power supply together weigh 4.4 lb (2 kg). The mounting 
surface should be sturdy enough to hold this weight in addition to any other load 
that may be present.
