Selecting a Location

Here’s how to use the tables to select a location for a board:

1. Write the board name in Table 2 and, referring to Table 1, put a check mark

(

) in each input and output block used by each board currently installed in

your Profile system. Start with the 1 block for each board.

2. Look in Table 1 to see the input and output requirements and both the

recommended slot and alternative slots for the board you want to install.

3. Look in Table 2 for a slot with the required video router connections

available. Starting with the 1 block, put an

8 in each block that corresponds

to an input and output requirement for the newly added board. If the
recommended slot is occupied, or there are not enough input or output blocks
available, look at the alternative slots.

4. If all input and output requirements for the board match the available ones

for the slot, write the board name in the

Board

column for the slot and install

the board.

NOTE: If you can’t find an open slot with the I/O connections which meets
the I/O requirements of the board you want to install, you will have to move
existing boards. You can use Table 1 and Table 2 to experiment with various
board locations before deciding on one.

The following examples demonstrate how to use these Table 1 a nd Table 2.
