Installation
Installation
The front and the rear modules for each model are delivered together as a
set as follows:
• 8943RDA front module with the 89003E-R rear module
• 8943RDA-D front module with the 89003E-R rear module
• 8943RDA-DFR front fiber ready module that accepts one optional SFP
fiber optic submodule (see
Table 1 on page 14 for model numbers) with
the 89003FR-R rear module
The front and rear modules can be plugged in and removed from a
GeckoFlex frame with power on, without disrupting operation on adjacent
modules. When power is applied to the module, LED indicators reflect the
initialization process (see
Power Up on page 25 ).
Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame
There are ten rear and front slot locations in the 2 RU frame to accommo-
date either video or audio modules of all types (
Figure 1 ). Some GeckoFlex
modules use two slots. The 89003E-R used with the 8943RDA and
8943RDA-D and the 89003FR-R rear modules used with the 8943RDA-DFR
should be installed in any available single slot location on the back of the
frame first. Then the 8943RDA/-D/-DFR front module should be plugged
into the corresponding front slot.
Note All unused rear slots in a GeckoFlex frame should have a blank rear adapter
cover installed.
