Installation
Installation
Installation of the 8950ADC module is a simple process of:
• Placing the module in the proper Gecko video frame slot, and
• Cabling and terminating signal ports.
The 8950ADC module can be plugged in and removed from a Gecko 8900
Series video frame with power on. When power is applied to the module,
LED indicators reflect the initialization process (see
8950ADC Input/Output
Connectors on page 10 ).
Frame Capacity
The maximum number of 8900 modules allowed in a frame is determined
by frame cooling capacity.
Table 1 provides the power capacity, cooling
capacity, and maximum 8950ADC module count for each frame type.
Note Module capacity figures assume no other modules are in the frame.
If the maximum number of modules a frame can handle is less than ten,
provide as much space between the modules as possible.
Module Placement in the Gecko 8900 Frame
There are ten slot locations in the video frame to accommodate either
analog or digital modules. These are the left ten locations. Refer to
Figure 1
on page 9 .
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
Power Supply manual.
The third slot from the right is allocated for the Frame Monitor or 8900NET
Network Interface module. These module provide the interface for SMPTE
269M fault reporting (health alarm). For additional information concerning
the 8900NET module, refer to the 8900NET Instruction Manual.
