openGear Rear Modules
If your OG-X-FR frame was ordered with cards requiring full rear modules or split
rear modules, the appropriate modules are installed at the factory or included
with the cards.
Supports DFR-8321 and OG3-FR Rear Modules
The OG-X-FR frame supports all existing rear modules designed for the DFR-8321
and OG3-FR frames. However, rear modules designed for use in the OG-X-FR
frame are not compatible with other openGear frames.
Identifying an OG-X-FR Rear Module
There are two ways to identify an OG-X-FR frame rear module:
• the notched top of the rear module, and
• a small notch on the bottom left corner of the rear module that ts into a
second seating slot on the midplane of the OG-X-FR frames. Note that this
small notch is not present on other frame rear module types.
OG-X-FR openGear Frame v1.0r1 11 www.aja.com
Caution! Attempting to install an OG-X-FR frame rear module into an OG3-FR,
DFR-8321, DFR-8320, or DFR-8310 frame can damage the rear module.
Rear Module Types
This section provides an overview of the rear module types for your OG-X-FR
frame.
Full Rear Modules
The full rear modules features a single card connector and can include a
combination of BNC, WECO™, fiber optic, serial, and ethernet connectors. Each
module occupies two slots in the frame and accommodates one card. Ensure the
openGear card is installed in the correct slot in the OG-X-FR frame. Up to 10 cards
can be installed in a frame when using these modules.
Split Rear Modules
Much like the modules for the OG3-FR frames, split modules for the OG-X-FR
frame features two card connectors and can have a combination of BNC, WECO™,
fiber optic, serial, and ethernet connectors. Each card connector is routed to a
column of five BNCs. A split rear module occupies two slots in the OG-X-FR frame
but provides connectors for two openGear cards, allowing you to install up to 20
cards in the frame.
Blank Rear Modules
Blank Rear Modules (R2-BLANK) are used when the slot does not have an
openGear card installed. This helps to ensure proper frame cooling and
ventilation.

Your OG-X-FR frame was specially engineered to minimize internal heat buildup
and thus improve card reliability.
For More Information on...
• the power dissipation of individual openGear cards, refer to the user guide for
your card.
• replacing the cooling fan module, refer to the section "Fan Filter Maintenance"
on page 39.
Ventilation
For applications using less than 40W in a non-ventilated OG-X-FR, but where
the individual card power consumption is greater than 8W, the cards should be
evenly distributed in the frame. This will prevent the creation of concentrated
heat, or unbalanced heat-rise areas, in the frame.
OG-X-FR openGear Frame v1.0r1 13 www.aja.com
IM PORTA NT: For reliable performance, it is recommended that the OG-X-FR frame door
not be opened for longer than 5 minutes on frames loaded with more than 40W.
For some extra high power cards, the door should not be open for more than 1
minute.
Cooling Fan Module
The OG-X-FR frames come standard with a Cooling Fan Module installed in the
frame door. The frame and PS-OGX can supply up to a maximum of 500W of
card power, with 15W per card. Under these ventilated conditions, there is no
requirement for extra vertical spacing between the frames. The OG-X-FR frames
can be stacked one on top of the other, a feature that is highly desirable in
densely crowded rack frame environments.
Caution! The two sides of the OG-X-FR frame have perforations that are needed to
ventilate the power supplies and must not be blocked.
Airflow Requirements
Under some conditions, the ambient air temperature inside rack-mount cabinets
can be greater that the ambient temperature within a room. For safe long term
reliability, ensure the ambient air temperatures at the OG-X-FR frame front intake
area are within the product’s specified operating temperature range. Adequate
ventilation within a rack frame must also be maintained. Ensure to adhere to the
following clearance recommendations:
• Minimum 2” (5.08cm) clearance both right and left-hand side of the chassis
sides with unrestricted vertical airow.
• Minimum 5” (12.7cm) clearance at the chassis rear with unrestricted vertical
airow.
Installation Requirements
Keep the following in mind when installing your OG-X-FR frame:
• Install the frame for maximum stability during operation and in such a way as
to allow adequate ventilation.
• The frame cannot be sealed in a closed container and must be installed in free
air space where the ambient temperature is monitored and controlled to not
exceed 40°C (104°F) at the frame front door airow intake.
• Ensure that adequate space exists in front and behind the frame and on both
sides of the frame for airow exhaust.
• The location of the frame should be accessible, dry, and dust-free.
Installing the Rear Support Bars and Brackets
Under normal conditions, mounting the OG-X-FR frame to the front of the rack
with four rack screws should be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight
of accompanying cables.
To help reduce mechanical stress due to cable weight, the FSB-OGX rear support
brackets are available for the OG-X-FR frame. The FSB-OGX are specifically
engineered to compensate for extra load stress associated with certain
applications, such as mobile truck installations, to also support the rear of the
OG-X-FR frame.

Connecting to a Power Supply
The OG-X-FR comes standard with one power supply, with a second optional
power supply (OG-X-PS) 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 OG-X-FR. One A/C power cable has been
provided with each power supply ordered.
For further redundancy, each power cord should be connected to a separate
power source for protection against failure of the A/C power circuit. In the event
of one power supply failure, the frame load is seamlessly transferred to the other
redundant power supply. Although the power supply is “hot-swappable” turning
the power supply off before inserting or removing it from the frame will increase
the life span of the connectors.
