Installation
Installation
The 8937 and 8937D modules can be installed in either an 8900 Gecko or
GeckoFlex frame. An 8900V-R rear module is required for use in the
GeckoFlex frame.
Gecko 8900 Frame
Installation of an 8937 module in an 8900 Gecko frame is a process of:
1. Placing the module in the proper frame slot,
2. Setting jumper settings if using local configuration controls (see Local
On-Board Configuration on page 22 ), and
3. Cabling signal ports.
The 8937 module can be plugged in and removed from an 8900 Series Video
frame with power on. When power is applied to the module, LED indica-
tors reflect the initialization process (see
Power Up on page 17 ).
Frame Capacity
The 8937 and 8937D modules can be installed in all Gecko 8900 Series Video
but with varying maximum quantities determined by frame cooling
capacity.
Table 1 provides the power capacity, cooling capacity, and
maximum module count for each frame type.
Note Module capacity figures assume no other modules are in the frame.
Module Placement in the 8900 Frame
There are ten slot locations in the video frame to accommodate modules.
These are the left ten locations. Refer to
Figure 1 on page 11 .
The two slots on the right are allocated for the power supplies. For addi-
tional information concerning the Power Supply module, refer to the 8900
Frames Instruction Manual.
