Installation
Installation
Installation of a module is a process of:
1. Placing the module in a video frame slot, and
2. Cabling and terminating signal ports.
The module can be plugged in and removed from a Gecko 8900 video
frame with power on. When power is applied to the module, LED indica-
tors reflect the initialization process (see
Power Up on page 14 ).
Frame Capacity
The 8937 and 8937D module can be installed in all Gecko 8900 video frames
but with varying maximum quantities determined by frame cooling
capacity.
Table 1 provides the power capacity, cooling capacity, and
maximum module count for each frame type.
Note Module capacity figures assume no other modules are in the frame.
Module Placement in the Gecko 8900 Frame
There are ten cell locations in the video frame to accommodate modules.
These are the left ten locations. Refer to
Figure 1 .
The two cells on the right are allocated for the power supplies. For addi-
tional information concerning the Power Supply module, refer to the 8900
Power Supply manual.
The third cell from the right is allocated for the Frame Monitor or 8900NET
Network Interface module. These modules provide health monitoring and
control options.
