System Requirements
The following system requirements are necessary for proper operation of
the 8995 Series modules:
• 8995 module operation requires the presence of an 8900NET Network
Interface module in an 8900FFN GeckoFlex frame for configuration.
There are no local front edge configuration controls for this module.
When using the web browser interface, the latest version of Internet
Explorer is the recommended application. Other web browsers may
cause unexpected results.
The latest version of 8900NET (Net Card) software must be at 4.3.0 for
proper operation. Check the software version of your 8900NET module

• Fans in the front cover must be set at maximum speed. Refer to Set Fan
Speed to Maximum on page 23 .
