CHAPTER 3: Installing Your HAL System To install more than one EXP device: 1. Install the first EXP as described above, connecting it directly to the HAL. 2. Attach the remaining EXP devices to the audio rack in their designated locations. 3. Daisy chain the EXP devices together. In other words, connect the second EXP device to the EXP that is connected to the HAL. To do so, plug one end of the shielded CAT 5e cable into the open Expansion Bus slot on the first EXP. Plug the other end of the cable into one of the Expansion Bus slots on the second EXP. Then, using another CAT 5e cable, repeat this process, connecting the third EXP to the second EXP, and so on: Task 5: Installing and Connecting RADs and DRs When the shielded CAT 5e cable is in place and the HAL and EXPs (if needed) are installed, connected, and configured, you can begin installing and testing the RADs and DRs. Several installation procedures are described in this section. The first procedure provides the details of installing and testing RADs and DRs in a new HAL System. The remaining procedures explain how to replace a RAD or DR in an existing HAL System. Before installing the RADs and DRs, you may want to familiarize yourself with their functionality and hardware features. See "Remote Audio Devices" on page 23 and "Digital Remote Devices" on page 43. Also, if the audio designer did not provide you with labels for the RADs (and if you have not yet generated labels), you may want to print them before beginning the installation process. See "Generating Device Labels" on page 94 for details. NOTE: When installing and testing RADs and DRs in a new HAL System, double-check that the HAL is connected and powered on (and, preferably, configured) before beginning the RAD/DR installation. 78

Task 5: Installing and Connecting RADs and DRs
When the shielded CAT 5e cable is in place and the HAL and EXPs (if needed) are installed, connected, and con-
figured, you can begin installing and testing the RADs and DRs. Several installation procedures are described in
this section. The first procedure provides the details of installing and testing RADs and DRs in a new HAL Sys-
tem. The remaining procedures explain how to replace a RAD or DR in an existing HAL System.
Before installing the RADs and DRs, you may want to familiarize yourself with their functionality and hardware
features. See "Remote Audio Devices" on page 23 and "Digital Remote Devices" on page 43. Also, if the audio
designer did not provide you with labels for the RADs (and if you have not yet generated labels), you may want
to print them before beginning the installation process. See "Generating Device Labels" on page 94 for details.
NOTE
:
When installing and testing RADs and DRs in a new HAL System, double-check that the HAL is con-
nected and powered on (and, preferably, configured) before beginning the RAD/DR installation.
