Installation
Installation
The 8985FSP consists of a front and rear module set that installs into a
GeckoFlex frame.
Note These modules can only be installed in a GeckoFlex frame. However, older
8900 legacy modules can be installed in this frame and require either an
8900V-R or 8900A-R rear module.
Installation of the 8985 module set is a process of:
1. Determining the placement of the 8985 module based on genlock
timing configuration,
2. Placing the 8900GFR-R rear module in a rear frame slot,
3. Installing the Genlock submodule option on the front module,
4. Placing the front module in the corresponding front slot,
5. Installing the optional SFP Fiber Optic submodule, and
6. Cabling the signal ports.
All GeckoFlex front and rear modules can be inserted and removed from an
GeckoFlex frame with power on.
Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame
There are ten front and rear cell locations in the 2 RU Gecko Flex frame
(
Figure 1 ) to accommodate either audio or analog and digital video module
sets. The 8985 module set uses the 8900GFR-R rear module that can be
installed in any one of the ten rear locations.
