2-2 PDR100 Installation
Configuration Guidelines
The information given here is to help install circuit boards in configurations that differ
from factory configurations. This information can be useful when adding a new
circuit board to the PDR100 and you need to move boards around to make room.
Some of the circuit boards must be installed in specific locations, others are installed
in locations that are dictated by the configuration.
Circuit Board Installation Rules
In order to ensure correct operation of the PDR100, it is necessary to follow some
specific rules involving the installation of the various circuit boards.
• Processor and VGA boards must be installed in Mother board slots J1 and J2
respectively.
• Slots J5 through J16 have access to both the EISA bus and the Video Router;
however, the number of router connections accessible from specific slots varies,
making it necessary to arbitrarily assign some configuration-specific boards to
designated slots.
• Disk Recorder circuit boards must be in Mother board slots J14 (Master) and J15
(Slave).
• Slot J17 on the Mother board is EISA only and is dedicated to the RS-422 board.
• The Reference Genlock circuit board must be installed in Mother board slot J16.
• Analog Composite Output circuit boards (for NTSC or PAL) can only be installed
in Mother board slots J11 or J12.
• Audio circuit boards need to be close enough to their respective input or output
boards to allow clock cabling. In most cases, the audio board will be adjacent to
the input board and no more than two slots away from the output board.
• Serial I/O boards cannot be installed adjacent to Analog Composite Output boards.
