Serial Digital I/O Upgrade Installation

Introduction

These instructions explain how to install the new serial digital I/O board in a
PDR100 Video Disk Recorder or a PDR200 Video File Server. The latest boards
have Sharcnet connectors so that embedded audio can be routed to and from the
Audio Signal Processing Board (ASPB). These instructions also assume that you
have already installed a slave disk recorder board field upgrade. The slave board
converts a two-channel Profile system into a four-channel system.

NOTE: Embedded audio does not work wi th the Analog Audio I/ O boards that
came standard with the PDR100. You must install an ASPB in a PDR100 to
use embedded audio.

The instructions include procedures for:

• Opening the Profile chassis.

• Moving existing boards, if necessary, to make room for the new board.

• Installing the new board.

• Closing the Profile chassis.

• Verifying that the insta lled board is functionin g correctly.

System Requirements

The Profile system software installed in the Profile system must be version 2.1 or
higher. To check the software version installed in your Profile system, open the
VrdPanel application and cho ose
listed in the Product Version field in the displayed window.

Installation Procedures

The procedures that follow take you step-by-step through the installation of the
serial digital I/O board. You can install the board with the Profile chassis fully
extended on the rack slides if the equipment rack is adequately anch ored to prevent
tipping, and if t her e is sufficient slack in the cables con nec ted to the rear panel t o
allow the chassis to fully extend on the slides.

If it is necessary for you to remove the Profile unit from the equipment rack to
perform this installation, refer to the Profile sy stem’s instal lation manual for
instructions.

WARNING: Unless the equipment rack is adequately anchored, the rack

Removing Circuit Boards

Installing the serial digital I/O board may require that you remove or reposition
one or more currently insta lled board s to make room for the n ew board or to meet
internal cabling constraints.

When unplugging boards, you may also find it necessary to remove the screw
mounting an adjacent circuit board, and i n the case of shorter c ircuit boards, it may
be necessary to remove an adja cent tall ci rcuit board t o ease remova l of the short er
board.

Use the following procedure to unplug circuit boards from the motherboard:

1. Remove all interior and rear panel cables from the circuit boards that are to
be removed.

2. Use the Torx tool with the T15 tip to remove the screw from the bracket
inside the chassis (

outside the chassis (

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the circuit board when removing or
installing it:

in Figure 3) and the screw through the rear panel

Ê

in Figure 3).

Ë

- Do not rock the circuit boar d in the EISA bus connector — pull straight

up to remove.

- Do not grasp or push on the rear-panel connectors when removing or

installing circuit boards in the card slots.

3. Extract the circuit board. If the circuit board is tall, use the extraction lever
on the front of the board and the extraction ring at the back of the board to
lift the circuit board free of the connectors on the motherboard. For shorter
circuit boards, carefully grasp the board and lift upward to free the circuit
board from the motherboard connectors. You might need to remove an
adjacent tall board to get enough room for a safe hold on the shorter board.

Board Location Guide

This board location guide is provi ded to help you ins tall a serial dig ital I/O board
in a PDR200 or PDR100. The guide identifies t he video router inputs and outpu ts
of each Profile board currently available, as well as the input and output
connections on the video router connectors on the motherboard. Use this
information when:

• Adding a board to the Profil e system a nd selecting a s lot into whi ch you can
install it.

• Moving boards to meet requirements for new boards.

As you move boards, remember that some circuit boards must occupy specific
slots, while others can be installed in almost any slot as long as their I/O
requireme nts are met (see Table 1).

From the factory, a s ingle, two- channe l ser ial d igit al I/ O board comes inst alle d in
slot J14 in a PDR202D. The recommend ed slot for th e additional serial digi tal I/O
is slot J15, although it could be installed in any available slot from J5 to J15. In
order to use embedded audio , however, th e serial di gital I/ O boards must be clo se
enough to the Audio Signal Processing Board (ASPB) for the audio clock and
Sharcnet cables to reach. Also, the board must not be in a slot with shared inputs
when all the inputs are taken by the adjacent board, such as the four-channel
analog output board or the analog composite monitor board.

This section provi des a gen eral, simple a pproach t o board l ocation. It expl ains the
relationship between the motherboard and video router connectors and provides
tables, charts and examples to assist you in installing this and other boards.

Video Router to Motherboard Relationship

The video router provides and controls video data to twelve connectors on the
motherboard. These v ideo data con nectors are aligned wit h the main mothe rboard
connectors for slots J 5 through J16. Since the Reference Genlock (Re f Gen) board
must occupy J16 to provide t he necessar y system clo cks, this di scussion excludes
J16.

When choosing a slot for a board, the majo r constraint for a slot is how the board
connects to the vi deo ro uter. No t all boards requi re th e sa me number o f vide o I/O
connections, and n ot all video data connectors provide the same number of vi de o
I/O connections. Therefore, you must know how many input and output
connections the bo ard need s, if any, and the s lots availab le that me ets those needs.

Board Location Guide

Board I/O Requirements and Restrictions

Table 1 lists each of the boards which may be installed in the Profile system and
the recommended slots, possible alternatives, and restrictions for each board. If
more than one slot is recommended or possible for a board, those slots are listed
in the order of preference.

Video Router I/O Connections

Now let’s look at the vid eo router co nnections ava ilable at slots J5–J15. Table 2 is
a board location chart with the video router input and output connections. In this
table:

• The

Slot column lists each slot on the motherboard connected to the video

router.

• The

Board column is where y ou write the boards cur rent ly in stal led an d the

name of the board you want to install.

• The

Inputs column identifies data input connections available to the slots

(boards) from the video rout er. The numbers in t he blocks corr espond to the
order input connections are assigned at the video router connector.

• The

Outputs column identifies data output connections available from the

slots (boards) to the video router. The numbers in the blocks correspond to
the order output connections are assigned at the video router connector.

• The shaded blocks in the diagram indicate video router connections shared
between slots. A shared conne ction is av ailable to either s lot, but not b oth at
the same tim e. For instance:

- The shaded blocks between slots J5 an d J6, sl ots J7 and J8, slots J10 and

J11, and slots J12 and J13 indicate shared input connections.

- The shaded blocks between slots J8 and J9, slots J10 and J11, and slots

J12 and J13 indicate shared output connections.

) in each input and output block used by each board currently installed in

your Profile system. Start with the 1 block for each board.

2. Look in Table 1 to see the input and output requirements and both the
recommended slot and alternative slots for the board you want to install.

3. Look in Table 2 for a slot with the required video router connections
available. Starting with the 1 block, put an
to an input and output requirement for the newly added board. If the
recommended slot i s occupied, or t here are not enou gh input or outpu t blocks
available, look at the alternative slots.

4. If all input and output requirements for the board match the available ones
for the slot, write the board name in the
the board.

NOTE: If you can’t find an open slot with the I/O connections which meets
the I/O requirements of the board you want to install, you will have to move
existing boards. You can use Table 1 and Table 2 to experi ment with various
board locations before deciding on one.

18 Serial Digital I/O Upgrade Installa tion

Installing the Serial Digital I/O Board

Refer to the board I/O requirements and restrictions in Table 1 and install the
board as follows:

1. If necessary, r emove the slot cover where you want to inst all the board—J15,
in this example.

2. Align the board with the connectors on the motherboard. Make sure the
extractor on the fro nt e nd of the board i s in th e up posi tion, t he n press down
on the board firm ly unt il the board is seated. As you push the board in to the
connectors, you will feel the board engage first one, then a second set of
contacts in the connector. The board is properly seated when the top of the
rear mounting bracket is resting on the rear chassis wall shelf.

3.

Use the Torx tool with the T15 tip to install the mounting screws in the top
of the bracket inside the chassis (

at the bottom of the bracket (

in Figure 4) and through the rear panel

Ê

in Figure 4).

5. Connect the audio clock and Sharcnet cables (see “Audio Clock and
Sharcnet Cabling” on page 22).

6. Use the Torx tool with the T10 tip to reinstall the rear board hold-down
bracket (see Figure 2).

7. If necessary, reconfigure the front board hold-down bracket, moving or
removing a short board extension, and use the Torx tool with the T10 tip to
reinstall the front board hold-down bracket (see Figure 2).

8. Use the Torx tool with the T10 tip to reinstall the rear top cover with the
screws previously removed.

9. Use the Torx tool with the T10 and T15 tips to reinstall the front top cover
with the screws previously removed.

10. Apply th e stick-on label at the appropriat e location in the Pro file chassis rea r
panel to identify the location of the serial digital I/O board and any other
board you repositioned.

11. Reinstall t he Profile chassis in the rack and reconnect all cables previ ously
removed.

12. Apply power to the Profile system and check the presence of the second
serial digital I/O board in slot J15 with the procedure under “Installation
Verification” on page 24.

Audio Clock and Sharcnet Cabling

This example shows the external audio clock and Sharcnet cabling necessary for
two serial digi ta l I /O boards (two channels e ach for a total of four c h ann els ) used

with an ASPB. The cable conn ections are lis ted in Tab le 5 and shown in Fi gure 5.

To ASPB

Each ASPB provides input of four external audio clock signals, one to each
Audio 1 through Audio 4 ba nk, whe re each bank consists of four audio channels.
ASPB Audio 1 through Audio 4 connec tors b egin cl osest to the rear pa nel and go
toward the front panel.

In general, the video board in the lowest numbered slot must provide the audio
clock signal to the Audi o 1 bank, then the vi deo board in the next l owest numbered
slot must provide the audio clock signal to the Audio 2 bank, and so forth. For
example, if you have vi deo board s in slot s J5 and J11, th e audio c lock sign al from
the video board in J5 must be connected to Audio 1 on the ASPB and the audio
clock signal from the vi deo board i n slot J11 must be connected to Audio 2 on the
ASPB. If there are no available clock connect ors on the ASPB, video inputs on the
unclocked board must be synchronous with a clocked input.

Installation Verification

Verification for installation of the serial digital I/O board consists of ensuring that
the system recognizes the board. Use the Diagnostics window, which lists all
installed and recognized boards, to see if the system recognizes the board. To
check for recognition of the added serial digital I/O in a PDR200, for example:

1. From the Windows NT 4.0 desktop, open the Diagnostics window by
choosing

2. On the left side of the window, ensure that the additional serial digital I/O
appears at slot J15 or wherever the board was installed (see Figure 6 for an
example).
