GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 4 Frame and Electrical Installation Kaleido is a self-contained unit consisting of a frame, redundant power supplies, a controller card, and various input and output cards. 4.1 Frame The frame is 4 RU high. It incorporates an internal midplane for interconnecting the modules. Modules are installed from the front of the frame. Each module is associated with input and/or output connectors which are mounted on a connector panel.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 4.2.2 Operation Connect each power supply to a power source using the supplied power cords. In normal operation, both supplies should be switched ON (power switch on the power supply unit set to | ). A green status lamp will illuminate on the power supply unit (see figure 4.2.1.1). 4.2.3 Ventilation Each power supply has its own integral ventilation fan.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 4.3.1 Connector panel installation Remove the blank panel (a blank panel is used to occupy the rear panel space behind empty slots) or existing connector panel. Release the captive screws at the top and bottom, and pull the panel straight out of the frame. Slide the new connector panel into the slot on the rear of the frame. Push it gently into position until the panel is tight against the frame and flush with the remaining panels.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION The location of the connectors differs between input and output cards, so placing the wrong type of card in a slot is simply not possible. The two output cards provide identical outputs. 4.4 Module description and connection Each Kaleido must be equipped with a Controller module and an output card, and may be equipped with a variety of audio and video input modules depending upon the operational environment.
