Frame Cards
All the functional cards and power supplies in the Carbonite eXtreme frame can be removed and replaced if required. Although the cards are hot-swappable, any video sources or resources provided by a card are lost when the card is removed.
CAUTION: When the frame is energized, Hazardous Energy Levels are present on the
chassis midplane where I/O card resettable fuses make contact with the 15V DC supply bus. Hazardous Energy
Sources can cause fire or serious burns under short circuit conditions. Access to the inside chassis areas must
be restricted to service personnel only, by use of the chassis door screw. The screw should be engaged to limit
access to the inside chassis without a tool.
CAUTION: Servicing within the chassis while energized should be limited to module
card or supply installation, or defect replacement. Installation of the cards should be carried at the front of
the enclosure and care should be taken to avoid any card or user contact with the resettable fuses on the
chassis’s midplane. All other service or repair should be carried out off-line with the chassis in a
de-energized state.
Note: You must install the rear module in the slot before you install the card.
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| Input Card (9807-5004) | Each input card provides the video resources for the eight BNC connectors on the left or right side of the rear module. |
| Output Card (9807-5003) | Each output card provides the video resources for the eight BNC connectors on the left or right side of the rear module. |
| Controller Card (2500AR-003A) | The controller cards provide two looping reference connectors, two T-Bus connectors, and two USB ports; as well as the alarm GPI. The T-Bus connectors provide the interface to Ross Routing Systems components, such as the RCP-NK1 Remote Control Panel and the NK-IPS Network Bridge. The GPI Alarm is not implemented at this time. |
| Ethernet Interface Card (4803AR-070A) and GPIO/Tally Card (4803AR-072A) | The interface card provides the communications ports for the control panel and Breakout panel; as well as two Ethernet ports. |
| Switcher/Crosspoint Card (4803AR-001A) | The switcher/crosspoint card provides the video switching and device communications for the switcher. |
