Installation
The 8943FC model consists of a front and rear module set that can only be
installed in a GeckoFlex frame. Two fiber optic dual transmitter SFP device
kits, shipped separately, must also be installed for full functionality of the
module.
Installation of the 8943FC module set is a process of:
1. Placing the 8943FC-R rear module in a rear frame slot,
2. Installing the fiber optic SFP devices on the front module,
3. Placing the front module in the corresponding front slot,
4. Cabling the signal ports, and
5. Setting module parameters with on-board switches or with the web
browser interface.
All GeckoFlex front and rear modules can be inserted and removed from
an GeckoFlex frame with power on.
Note Modules and SFP devices are sensitive to static damage, use standard anti-
static precautions when handling components.
Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame
There are ten front and rear cell locations in the 2 RU GeckoFlex frame
(
Figure 1 ) to accommodate either audio, analog and digital video modules.
