Installation
The front and the rear modules are delivered together as a set: 8947RDA-D
front module with the 8900WE-R rear module or the 8947RDA-FR front
fiber-ready module with 8900WFR-R rear module. The optional fiber optic
SFP device used on the 8947RDA-FR is ordered and shipped separately.
The front modules can be plugged in and removed from a GeckoFlex frame
with power on without disrupting operation on adjacent running modules.
When power is applied to the module, LED indicators reflect the initializa-
tion process (see
Power Up on page 24 ).
Installation of the 8947RDA module set is a process of:
1. Placing the 8900WE-R or 8900WFR-R rear module in a rear frame slot,
2. Configuring the local onboard settings if not using an 8900NET (Net
Card) (see
Local Configuration on page 14 ),
3. Placing the front module in the corresponding front slot, and
4. Installing an optional Fiber Optic SFP device in the 8947RDA-FR
module rear cage if being used.
Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame
There are ten front and rear cell locations in the 2 RU GeckoFlex frame
(
Figure 1 ) to accommodate either audio, analog and digital video modules.
The 8947RDA module set may be plugged into any one of the available
GeckoFlex frame slots. It requires a single rear slot.
