8900-FRMKIT Installation
Follow the instructions below to install the rear rack supports on an 8900
GeckoFlex or Gecko frame.
1. First verify the presence of the two holes required for installing the side
supports on either side of the 8900 frame as shown in
Figure 1 . (Some
older frames may have four holes, only two holes are used.)
Note If these holes are not present you will first need to modify the frame with Field
Modification Note (FMN) 075077000 from Grass Valley Customer Service.
This FMN provides the drill bit, drilling template, and self-tapping screws free
of charge to modify the frame with the holes required for this option.
2. Power down the frame completely by removing all AC power cord
connections at the rear of the frame.
3. Measure the distance from the rack rear to the two holes on either side
of the rear of the frame to determine what hole positions to use on the
side supports. The side support should protrude at least one inch from
the rear. See the finished installation in
Figure 2 on page 4
4. If required, uncable the modules in the frame and remove the entire
frame from the rack to do this installation.

5. Attach a side support to each side of the frame with two of the finish
washers and two screws provided as shown in
Figure 1 . Make sure to
install the screws and washers in opposite corners of any two sets of
adjacent holes for proper support.
Note The finish washer must be used or the screw will protrude into the frame.

on both sides of frame.
