Installation
The 8972PX model consists of a front and dual rear module set that can only
be installed in a GeckoFlex frame.
Installation of the 8972PX module set is a process of:
1. Placing the 8900PX-DR dual rear module in a rear frame slot (this rear
module requires two adjacent rear slot spaces and cannot be installed
in Slot 10),
2. Placing the front module in the corresponding front slot
(corresponding to the module connector on the rear module), and
3. Cabling the signal ports.
All GeckoFlex front and rear modules can be inserted and removed from a
GeckoFlex frame with power on.
Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame
There are ten front and rear cell locations in the 2 RU GeckoFlex frame
(
Figure 6 ) to accommodate either audio, analog and digital video modules.
The 8972PX module set uses the 8900PX-DR rear module that requires two
adjacent slots, allowing up to five 8972PX modules per frame.
