Product overview
The FR202 (-RP) frame, is a compact frame, providing space for up to 20 Flashlink
modules, in addition to two fixed positions for power supply modules and one fixed position
for a possible future control board.
The frame features maximum flexibility as every module comes with a dedicated back-
plane module, which takes up n x 7TE spacing. The 3.5TE distance between card positions
opens for connection of two Flashlink modules to one 7TE backplane. The number of
backplanes with 3.5TE module distance (utilizing all 20 positions) is currently limited, but
will be expanded in the future. Each frame can be controlled by a Multicon System
Controller card , together with up to 7 other frames.
The sync function makes it possible to provide a common sync signal to all card positions.
Power consumption
The current draw in the Flashlink frame is limited by the power supplies.
Overloading the power supplies will cause the power units to malfunction. Please
read chapter 2.4 for further details!
Heat dissipation
The heat dissipation is based on convection as well as cooling by fans, and it is
therefore very important not to block the warm air exhaust perforations in the
chassis.
