• The AXIS Q7900 must be grounded to the same ground as the equipment rack.

• The equipment rack must be braced and bolted to the floor.

Page 6 AXIS Q7900 Installation Guide

Connect power

The AXIS Q7900 has two On/Off switches. Please ensure that the correct AC power cord for your
country is used.

Note also the following requirements and restrictions:

• To prevent the risk of electrical shock when in contact with the unit casing, only earthed/
grounded power cords should be used to power the AXIS Q7900.

• Protection against overcurrents, short circuits and earth faults should be provided in the build­ing installation.

• The AXIS Q7900 is intended for indoor use only, and only for TN and IT power systems.

• If a foreign object is accidently dropped into the Video encoder Rack, always disconnect power
before attempting to remove the object.

• To turn off power to the AXIS Q7900, both power supplies must be turned off.

AXIS video encoder blades

S/N - (serial number) is identical to the unit’s MAC/Ethernet address,

e.g. 00408C1A2B3C = 00-40-8C-1A-2B-3C.

P/N - is the product’s model number.

Bus Connector - This is the physical interface to the I/O terminal connector on the rack.

DIP Switches - Each video input has a corresponding line termination DIP switch. Axis video

encoder blades are supplied with the line termination enabled for each input; i.e. with the DIP
switches set to ON (down position).

To connect the video encoder in parallel with other equipment, disable the input termination by
setting the corresponding DIP switch to OFF (up position). Failure to do so may affect the image
quality negatively.

For detailed hardware information about a particular Axis video encoder blade, please refer to its
installation guide.

Mounting AXIS video encoder blades

The AXIS Q7900 can accommodate 14 Axis video encoder blades. The slots for these are numbered
1-14 from left to right. See Hardware overview, on page 4.

There are four slot groups in the AXIS Q7900: 1-4, 5-7, 8-10 and 11-14. If a slot group is to be
used, the first slot in the slot group must be occupied. So if the first slot group is to be used, there
must be a blade in slot 1. If slots 5 through 7 are to be used, there must be blade in slot 5 etc..

For example, if you have three blades and want to put them into the first group of slots 1-4, one of
the three blades must occupy slot 1. The other two blades could occupy either slot 2, 3 or 4. Or if
three slot groups were to be used, the first blade could occupy slot 1 or 5, the second blade could
occupy slot 5 or 8, and the third blade could occupy slot 8 or 11.

AXIS Q7900 Installation Guide Page 7

Screws

Video channel 14

Video channel 1

Follow these steps to mount an AXIS video encoder blade in the AXIS Q7900:

1. If there is a a front panel cover, remove it from the slot in to which the video encoder will be
mounted. This is done by unfastening the screw at the top and bottom of the cover.

2. Slide the video encoder into place, using the guides as an aid. Make sure that video channel (1)
is at the bottom of the blade when it is inserted into the AXIS Q7900.

3. Fix the video encoder in place, using the screws from the front panel cover.

ENGLISH

Note:

Front panel covers should be used on all empty slots.

Network Connector - Axis video encoder blades are designed for 10/100/1000 Mbps networks and
connect via the standard RJ-45 connector.

Installation du matériel

Facteurs à prendre en compte lors du choix d’un emplacement

L’AXIS Q7900 doit être installé à un endroit répondant aux critères suivants :

FRAN

Ç
AIS

• Température ambiante : 0 ° à +45 °C

• Humidité relative : 20-80%

• Source d’alimentation à moins de 1,80 mètre

• Il doit y avoir au moins 5 cm d’espace libre au-dessus, au-dessous, devant et derrière

• Pas de poussière excessive

Facteurs à prendre en compte lors du choix d’un emplacement pour un
rack de 19 pouces

• Tournevis Pozidriv n° 1

• Tournevis Pozidriv n° 3

• Le rack doit être consolidé par des renforts et être boulonné au sol.

• L’AXIS Q7900 doit être mis à la même terre que le rack de l’équipement.

l’AXIS Q7900 afin de garantir une ventilation suffisante

Lors du montage de l’AXIS Q7900 sur un rack physique, n’empilez jamais plusieurs racks
les uns sur les autres : les supports de fixation ne sont pas prévus pour supporter plus
d’un rack.

Page 16 AXIS Q7900 Guide d’installation

Branchement de l’alimentation

L’AXIS Q7900 possède deux boutons de marche/arrêt. Vérifiez que vous utilisez le cordon
d’alimentation CA approprié pour votre pays.

Tenez également compte des contraintes et restrictions suivantes :

• Pour éviter tout risque de choc électrique en cas de contact avec le boîtier de l’appareil,
utilisez uniquement un cordon d’alimentation à la terre/masse pour l’alimentation de
l’AXIS Q7900.

• Les installations du bâtiment doivent offrir une protection contre les surintensités, les
courts-circuits et les défauts de terre.

• L’AXIS Q7900 est destiné à être utilisé en intérieur exclusivement et uniquement pour les
systèmes d’alimentation TN et IT.

• Si un corps étranger devait tomber accidentellement dans le rack d’encodeur vidéo,
mettez toujours ce dernier hors tension avant de tenter de retirer l’objet.

• Pour mettre l’AXIS Q7900 hors tension, coupez les deux alimentations.

Encodeur vidéo lame Axis

Le numéro de série (S/N) - est identique à l’adresse Ethernet/MAC de l’appareil.

Par exemple : 00408C1A2B3C = 00-40-8C-1A-2B-3C.

Le numéro de pièce (P/N) - correspond au numéro de modèle du produit.

Connecteur de bus - Le connecteur de bus joue le rôle d’interface physique avec le connecteur

pour terminaux E/S du rack.

Commutateurs DIP - Chaque entrée vidéo possède un commutateur DIP de terminaison de ligne
correspondant. Les encodeurs vidéo lames Axis sont fournis avec la terminaison de ligne activée
pour chaque entrée, c’est-à-dire avec les commutateurs DIP configurés sur ON (position inférieure).

Pour connecter l’encodeur vidéo en parallèle avec d’autres équipements, désactivez la terminaison
d’entrée en réglant le commutateur DIP correspondant sur OFF (position supérieure). Sinon, la
qualité d’image risque d’être affectée.

Pour toute information détaillée à propos d’un encodeur vidéo lame AXIS spécifique, reportez-vous
à son guide d’installation.

Montage des encodeurs vidéo AXIS

L’AXIS Q7900 peut accepter 14 encodeurs vidéo lames Axis. Les logements prévus à cet effet sont
numérotés de 1 à 14, de gauche à droite. Cf. section Description du matériel, , page 14.

L’AXIS Q7900 possède également quatre groupes de logements : 1-4, 5-7, 8-10 et 11-14. Si un
groupe de logements doit être utilisé, le premier logement de chaque groupe doit être occupé.
Autrement dit, si le premier groupe de logements doit être utilisé, il doit y avoir une lame dans le
logement 1. Si les logements 5 à 7 doivent être utilisés, il doit y avoir une lame dans le logement 5,
etc.

AXIS Q7900 Guide d'installation Page 17

Vis

Canal vidéo 14

Canal vidéo 1

Par exemple, si vous disposez de trois lames et vous voulez les placer dans le premier groupe de
logements 1 à 4, une des trois lames doit occuper le logement 1, les deux autres pouvant occuper
les logements 2, 3 ou 4. Si trois groupes de logements doivent être utilisés, la première lame peut
occuper le logement 1 ou 5, la deuxième le logement 5 ou 8 et la troisième le logement 8 ou 11.

Procédez comme suit pour monter un encodeur vidéo lame AXIS sur l’AXIS Q7900 :

1. Si le logement dans lequel l’encodeur vidéo sera monté possède un couvercle de panneau avant,
retirez-le. Pour ce faire, dévissez les vis au sommet et au bas du couvercle.

2. Mettez l’encodeur vidéo en place, en vous aidant des guides. Assurez-vous que le canal vidéo
(1) se trouve au bas de la lame lors de l’insertion dans l’AXIS Q7900.

3. Fixez l’encodeur vidéo à l’aide des vis du couvercle de panneau avant.

Remarque :

Des couvercles de panneau avant doivent être posés sur tous les logements vides.
