4. Align the top screw of the DFR-RM-82xx with the screw hole on the top edge of the
backplane.
5. Using a Phillips driver and the supplied screw, fasten the DFR-RM-82xx panel to the
backplane. Do not over tighten.
6. Ensure proper frame cooling and ventilation by having all rear frame slots covered
with rear I/O modules or blank metal plates. If you need blanks, see the chapter,

SMPTE Alarm Connector
The SMPTE Alarm BNC connector may be wired to an external alarm system for reporting alarms in
SMPTE 269M format. The circuit can drive a 20mA alarm load. For more details on this type of
system, refer to the document ANSI/SMPTE 269M - 1999, available from SMPTE. Refer also to page
19-20, “SMPTE Fault Reporting Option,” for further details.
openBUS Connector
This RJ45 connector is used to exchange information data from cards installed in the frame to an
external monitoring/control system. Only cards having the openBUS interface will be able to be
monitored and controlled this way. This is reserved for future use with openGear
®
products.
Notice
Connect only openBUS compatible devices and cables on this connector otherwise
damage can occur to the frame or to the incompatible device.
Ethernet Connector
This RJ45 connector is used to connect the optional MFC-8320-N frame controller card to an external
Ethernet network. This standard 10/100Base-TX RJ45 Ethernet connector is used to exchange
information with an external monitoring/control system over an Ethernet network. The optional
MFC-8320-N is required to bridge the external Ethernet network to the local openBUS for monitoring
and control of cards installed in the 8320 frame. Only cards having the openBUS interface will be able
to be monitored and controlled this way.
Note
Use up to 100 meters of CAT5 Fast Ethernet cable or better to connect the frame to
an external Ethernet hub or switch.
The Ethernet port does not have AutoMDIX support and its RJ45 connector is wired
as a Network Interface Card (NIC).
The Ethernet port does not provide Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
