Get started with the iBX440
From SpinetiX Support Wiki
Unboxing
The first step is to take out the following items from the box:
- The iBX440 player
- The power delivery unit
- The two power cables - there's one with a type E+F plug and one with a type B plug.
- There are no video or network cables inside the box - you'll need an HDMI cable and an Ethernet cable for the next step.
- There is a label on the inside of the packages with a QR code pointing to this guide.
Installation
Connect the screen
The iBX440 outputs a video signal over HDMI 2.0b (UHD), so you need a display with an HDMI type A (female) connector and an HDMI cable (not included). For UHD/4K resolution output, a (Premium/Ultra) High Speed HDMI cable is required.
Follow these steps:
- Connect one end of the video cable to one of the HDMI ports of your player.
- Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port of the display.
Connect the network
The iBX440 can connect to the wired network via a standard Ethernet cable (not included).
Follow these steps:
- Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of your player (the one with the network symbol on the right).
- The SVC network port is only for service and diagnostic only.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a network port (female connector) of a network switch or a computer (direct connection).
- In case of direct connection, if the computer doesn't support Gigabit Ethernet, then use an Ethernet crossover cable.
Connect the power
A power supply unit and two detachable cables for type B and type E/F plugs are delivered with the player. If you are using a different plug type, then use an adapter or a different cable.
Follow these steps:
- Connect the lockable power connector attached to the PSU to the power port (marked with the DC symbol ⎓ ).
- Connect the detachable cable to the PSU, then plug it into a power outlet.
- Press the power button.
- Switch on the screen and the LAN-Switch/computer.
Boot-up
The power LED should light up at this point, and you will hear a beep sound indicating that the player is starting the boot-up process. During the boot-up, a splash screen is shown at the screen's resolution.
Once the player has finished booting up, the screen will display something like this:
- If the Power LED doesn't light up at all, then there is a problem with the power supply.
- If you cannot see anything on the screen, follow these troubleshooting steps.
