- Input/Output Cards
  The input and output cards install into the front of the frame and provide the video resources for the input/output matrix. Each rear module can support up to two input or output cards.
- Power Supplies
  The frame supports up to two 500 W power supplies providing full redundancy. If one power supply fails, the other provides enough power to support the entire frame.

To Install a Rear Module

Important: Only qualified service personnel are allowed to replace or service system boards and/or cards.

Note: There are different input and output rear modules. Ensure that you are installing the correct module. Input rear modules are installed in the top slots and output rear modules are installed in the bottom slots.

Locate the rear module, or blank plate, that you want to remove.
Remove the six (6) screws securing the rear module to the frame and remove the old rear module.
Align the connectors on the back of the new rear module to the connectors on the midplane at the back of the frame and insert the rear module into the slot.
Re-install the six screws into the new rear module to secure it in position.
