Introduction
Rack Mount
an external power supply and have their own power supply alarm connectors.) See
6 Connect to power.
After all other modules are installed and connections are made, connect the router to AC
power. The NV8144 and NV8140 connect directly to AC power. The NV8280, NV8576, and
NV8576-Plus frames connect to the external NV8300 power supply frame which connects to
AC power.
Note: be sure to insert PS8300 power supply modules in the NV8300 after all power connec-
tions are made. This is how you turn the router on and off. The PS8300s are hot-swappable.
See
Note: each PS8300 requires a 20 A circuit at 110
VAC. A 220
VAC line requires 10 A circuitry.
7 Launch the Miranda Router Configurator.
The Miranda Router Configurator (MRC) is used to configure the router and monitor system
status. MRC should be installed on a PC in the same network as the router control system.
See the Miranda Router Configurator User’s Guide.
Rack Mount
NV8500 series router frames are designed to fit in a 19”
(
482.6
mm
)
EIA rack. The NV8280, the
NV8576, and the NV8576-Plus use one or more NV8300 external power supply frames that also
requires rack-mounting. It is not required that both the router and power supply frames be
mounted in the same rack.
For details about power requirements and how to connect to power, see
Before mounting frames in the rack, determine the placement of the router frame, and if appli-
cable, the NV8300 power supply in the rack and the rack in the facility. When placing the frames
and rack keep in mind the following requirements:
•
Vertical space for the router frame:
NV8144 frames occupy 8 RUs.
NV8140 frames occupy 8 RUs.
NV8280 frames occupy 16 RUs.
NV8576 frames occupy 32 RUs.
Stand-alone NV8576-Plus frames occupy 32 RUs.
Each of the two frames of an expanded NV8576-Plus occupies 32 RUs.
•
Vertical space for the NV8300 power supply frame:
The NV8144 and the NV8140 do not use external power supply frames.
For an NV8280, only one power supply frame is required, totalling 3 RUs.
For an NV8576 or a stand-alone NV8576-Plus, two power supply frames are required total-
ling 6 RUs.
For an expanded NV8576-Plus, four power supply frames are required totalling 12 RUs.
•
Vertical space for NV8900 MADI Interfaces, each of which requires 1
on page 54. (NV8900s are optional.)
Note: Grass Valley’s NV8900 interfaces can concentrate AES signals in a MADI stream for con-
nection to a MADI input or extract AES signals from a MADI output. For details, see
