Cards which need an external reference use this master reference signal in place of taking the signal from one of the card BNCs.
Power Supplies and Power Cable The openGear frame comes standard with one power supply, with a second optional power supply available for redundancy. For redundancy, and in applications where the equipment is used in a critical signal path, we recommend that two power supplies be used in the openGear frame. One A/C power cable has been provided with each power supply ordered.
Power Cable Connection This section includes information for connecting the power cables for the openGear frames. Warning Hazardous Voltages — The safe operation of this product requires that a protective earth connection be provided. This protective earth is provided by the grounding conductor in the equipment's supply cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock to operator and service personnel, this ground conductor must be connected to an earthed ground.
Ethernet Connections You can monitor and control openGear cards in your openGear frame via the DashBoard client software. This requires a Network Controller card is installed and configured in your openGear frame. The exact steps for connecting to your facility via an ethernet network depends on the network requirements of your facility. Contact your IT Department before connecting to your facility network to ensure that there are no conflicts.
Monitoring This section briefly summarizes the LEDs located on the frame doors that provide monitoring features.

Ventilation and Cooling Your frame was specially engineered to minimize internal heat buildup and thus improve card reliability. For information on the power dissipation of openGear cards, refer to the user manual for your card. Overview For applications using less than 40W in a non-ventilated openGear frame, but where the individual card power consumption is greater than 8W, the cards should be evenly distributed in the frame.
Installing a Rear Module Depending on the frame model you purchased, there may be variations in the BNC rear I/O modules connected to it. If the frame was ordered with cards requiring custom rear I/O modules, the appropriate modules will be installed at the factory or included with the card modules. Note: Refer to card product manuals or catalog/web pages for rear modules available for the cards being installed.
