8960ENC—Instruction Manual 11
Installation
Gecko 8900 Frame
Installation of the 8960ENC module in a Gecko 8900 frame is a process of:
1. Placing the module in the proper frame slot, and
2. Cabling and terminating signal ports.
The 8960ENC module can be plugged in and removed from any Gecko
8900 frame with power on. When power is applied to the module, LED
indicators reflect the initialization process (see
Power Up on page 16 ).
Frame Capacity
The 8960ENC module can be installed in all 8900 Series video frames but
with varying maximum quantities determined by frame cooling capacity.
Table 1 provides the power capacity, cooling capacity, and maximum
8960ENC module count for each frame type.
Note Module capacity figures assume no other modules are in the frame.
X = Not recommended without forced air cooling.
If you are using an 8900NET module running software version 4.0.0 or
later, you may link to the 8900 Frame Status web page (
Figure 10 on
page 28 ) then select the link to the Power Supply/Demand web page for
determining the power capacity for the frame. Using this function, the
8900NET module will determine how much power is being consumed and
report back when power has been exceeded.
Module Placement in the 8900 Frame
There are ten slot locations in the frame to accommodate either analog or
digital modules. These are the left ten locations. Refer to
Figure 2 on
page 12 .
The two slots on the right are allocated for the power supplies. For addi-
tional information concerning the Power Supply module, refer to the Gecko
8900 Frames Instruction Manual.
