Selecting a Board Location
Here’s how to use the tables to select a location for a board. Make a copy of
Table 8 to use as a template for recording information for board placement.
1. Write the board name in Table 8 and, referring to Table 7, put a check mark
( 3 ) 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 7 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 7 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 7 and Table 8 to experiment with various
board locations before deciding on one.
