My mixer is making poping static sounds when everyone sings into mics at the same time. Only does it through the monitor channels
Without hearing it it is difficult to be sure what is going on. What happens if you plug the main PA into the monitor channels, do you get the same? Are you trying to get too much into the monitors? static and popping are not the same to my ears, popping sounds more like you are hearing something that's there through the monitors that you're not hearing through the main mix as it may be masked. What frequency is the popping? Does it only happen when levels are high or when the singers are doing 'p' and 'b's etc? do you get it if you put the monitors on the main mix? Are you running the monitors into clipping (although I wouldn't expect this to create a popping? It sounds like a mix issue rather than a fault with hardware.

If the hum is observable in headphones, then it is likely a power supply problem, usually a dried out electrolytic filter capacitor.

Decide if you want to use the AUX's or the SUB's for your monitors. (usually use the AUX).
Connect TRS cables from the appropriate AUX sends to thee amplifiers you use for your monitors or your powered monitors whichever you have.
Adjust the level using the AUX level controls for each channel to set your minitor mix.
Normally use the PreFader AUX's so monitor levels are set independent of the slide fader positions.
Here is a big hint for you: Search YouTube.com for "Soundboard" or "Soundboard setup". There are good videos there that might be different than your particular board, but there is enough commonality that you will soon be an expert!
