Selecting a Location

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

1. In the Board Location Chart, Table 2, enter the board name and, referring to

Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions, 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 the Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions, 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 the Board Location Chart, Table 2, for a slot with the required Video

Router connections available. Starting with the 1 block, put an “X” in each
block that corresponds to an input and output requirement for the 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 which meets the I/O
requirements of the board you want to install, you will have to move boards
around. You can use the Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions table and
the Board Location Chart to experiment with various board locations before
deciding on one.

The following examples demonstrate how to use the Board I/O Requirements and
Restrictions, Table 1, and the Board Location Chart, Table 2.
