Installation
Installation
Installation of a KAM-XM module set is a process of:
• Placing the KAM-XM rear module in a frame slot,
• Placing the front media module in the corresponding front slot, and
• Cabling signal ports.
Module Placement in the 2000 Frame
There are twelve slot locations in both the front and rear of a Kameleon
3 RU frame to accommodate KAM-XM modules. A KAM-XM module set
consists of a front media module and a dual height rear module that
requires two module slots.
Each KAM-XM front media module plugs into the front of the 2000 frame
mid-plane. The rear module plugs into the corresponding rear slot to
provide the input and output interface connectors.
A 3 RU 2000T3 frame fully stuffed with KAM-XM front and rear modules
will accommodate up to six module sets. A 1 RU 2000T1 frame will accom-
modate up to 2 module sets.
The KAM-XM front and rear module can be plugged in and removed from
a Kameleon 2000 Series frame with power on. When power is applied to the
module, LED indicators reflect the initialization process (see
Power Up and
Module Status on page 19 ).
To install a KAM-XM module set in a frame:
1. For fully stuffing a 3 RU frame with KAM-XM modules, locate a vacant
slot in slot 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 of the rear of the frame (
Figure 1 on
page 13 ). The rear module uses two slots.
Note This configuration (using slots 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) is only suggested when fully
stuffing the frame with KAM-XM modules. There are no restrictions on which
slot to use as long as there is room in the frame. You may use any two slots
(odd or even numbered) for a KAM-XM module with any Kameleon or 2000
module combination.
