Installation

Installation
The 8943CF model consists of a front and rear module set that can only be installed in a GeckoFlex frame. Two optional fiber optic dual transmitter SFP device kits, shipped separately, must also be installed for full function ality of the module.
Installation of the 8943CF module set is a process of:
1. Placing the 8900CF-R rear module in a rear frame slot,
2. Installing the fiber optic SFP devices on the front module,
3. Placing the front module in the corresponding front slot,
4. Cabling the signal ports, and
5. Setting module parameters with on-board switches or with the web
browser interface or the Newton Control Panel.
All GeckoFlex front and rear modules can be inserted and removed from an GeckoFlex frame with power on.
-
Note Modules and SFP devices are sensitive to static damage, use standard
anti-static precautions when handling components.

Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame

There are ten front and rear cell locations in the 2 RU GeckoFlex frame
Figure 1) to accommodate either audio, analog and digital video modules.
(
Figure 1. GeckoFlex Frame
8943CF — Instruction Manual 11
Installation
Module Installation Precautions
Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the front and rear modules and any optional fiber optic SFP devices:
Use standard anti-static procedures during installation. As modules
can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is powered up, before removing the cover, please use an anti-static bracelet tied to a metal part of the frame.
Install the rear module first, then install the fiber optic SFP device
option(s) on the front module, then install the front module.
When installing or removing a rear module, loosen or tighten the
screws holding the retainer clips to the frame manually with the retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame or use a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Please do not use an electric screw­driver.
Note On newer 751- version GeckoFlex frames, a Rear Retainer Clip removal tool
and 2 extra retainer clips and screws for installing them are provided on the inside of the frame cover.
Make every effort to leave the screws holding the retainer clips in place
(do not remove them completely). They are very small and can easily drop into other equipment causing a shorting hazard. (Two turns of the screw should be enough to loosen the screws, 3 turns or more will remove it.)
When installing a rear module, tighten the screws on the retainer clips
just until snug. Do not apply more force than is necessary to seat the rear module. Refer to the
page 53.
If using a fiber optic SFP device on the fiber-ready front module, handle
it carefully, use anti-static precautions, and read the Fiber Optic Cleaning Requirement on page 14 before cabling.
Mechanical specifications given in Tab le 6 on

Rear Module Installation
8771_07r0
Use retainer clip or needlenose pliers to pull out blank after removing retainer clips
To install the rear module, refer to Figure 2 and the instructions below:
1. To remove a blank rear adapter cover (or a rear module already
present), manually loosen the two screws holding each retainer clip on the rear adapter cover or rear module to the frame with the retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame (newer model frames only) or a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Do not remove the screws.
Note To remove a rear module already installed, follow the same steps. It is helpful
to first remove the front module so the rear can be pulled out more easily.
2. After loosening the retainer clip screws, pull up on each retainer and
completely remove it, leaving the screws in place.
3. Remove the blank rear adapter cover by inserting needlenose pliers
into the slots in the blank cover and pulling it off.
4. Insert the rear module into the empty slot, guiding it carefully.
Installation
5. Replace each retainer clip over the two screws on both sides of the
module and push down to seat the retainer clip.
6. Tighten the two screws on each retainer clip just until they come into
contract with the retainer clip then tighten about a 1/4 turn more (maximum torque is 4-5 inch-lb/0.45-0.6Nm). Do not force or torque the screws too tightly. The clips should not bend or be bowed.
Note All unused rear slots in a GeckoFlex frame should have a blank rear adapter
cover installed.

Repeat the SFP device installation procedure for the second SFP device in the top SCA-2 connector, J4, of the module. This SFP device will output Fiber Channel 3 (1570nm) and Fiber Channel 4 (1550nm).
Follow the instructions for installing the SFP device in connector J4 in the same manner as the instructions for J6 starting on steps 1 through 5. The finished installation of the Fiber Channel 3 and Fiber Channel 4 SFP device should resemble the one in
Figure 11. SFP Device Installation for Ch 3 and Ch 4
page 17,
Figure 11.
Now install the Fiber Channel 3 and 4 fiber cable assembly from the SFP device to the rear LC adapter as described below.
1. Remove the dust covers from the fiber cable assembly connectors to
expose the LC ferrules (the ends of the fiber optic cable).
2. Clean the LC ferrules of the connectors (and after every de-mating
cycle) using an industry standard fiber optic cleaning kit as described in Fiber Optic Cleaning Requirement on page 14. Also visually inspect the LC ferrules for damage or blockage before connecting them.
3. Remove the rubber dust cover from the SFP device connector end.
Insert the duplex end of the fiber cable assembly (the two fiber optic cables connected together) into the SFP device by holding the strain relief boot directly behind the connector housing as shown in Figure 12
on page 20. Push on the strain relief until you hear a click, indicating the
connectors are properly mated.
