10 8964ENC/-FS — Instruction Manual
Installation
Installation
The 8964ENC and 8964ENC-FS module can be installed in either an 8900
Gecko or a GeckoFlex frame. An 8900V-R rear module is required for use in
the GeckoFlex frame.
Gecko 8900 Frame
Installation of the 8964ENC 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 8964ENC module can be plugged in and removed from a Gecko 8900
video frame with power on. When power is applied to the module, LED
indicators reflect the initialization process (see
Power Up on page 18 ).
Frame Capacity
The 8964ENC module can be installed in all Gecko 8900 video frames 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.
X = Not recommended without forced air cooling.
Using the latest 8900NET (Net card) module (version 4.3.0 or later), a link
to the 8900 Frame Status web page (
Figure 12 on page 35 ) 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 deter-
mine how much power is being consumed and report back when power
has been exceeded.
