VMG‐14+ChassisandComponents

The VMG-14+ utilizes a chassis platform fitted either for 13 RU (DC system) or 14 RU (AC system). The front of the VMG-14+ chassis cage accommodates all system and application modules. For AC systems (

Figure 3), the front also includes the AC PSUs located in the power bay at the base of the system.

ChassisFront

The VMG-14+ chassis cage front provides 14 vertical slots for loading of the application modules. Two of these slots are dedicated for use by Network Processor Modules (NPM or NPM2) for 1:1 redundancy configuration.

• If the VMG-14+ is using GEN2 NPM2 cards, the remaining 12 slots can be used for Transcoding

Modules (TCM2, or TCM2+).

• If the VMG-14+ is using GEN1 NPM cards, the remaining 12 slots can be used for Video Processor

Modules (VPM), Transcoding Modules (TCM), and up to two Application Media Processors (AMPs).

Note: Rules for loading the various modules are applicable. See “Basic Chassis Populations” on page 18

for more information.

System modules fit into numbered slots, from left (1) to right (14). Up to two Shelf Manager modules fit into the two vertical slots at the left edge of the chassis, alongside slot 1. The AC ( (

Figure 5) VMG chassis are identical except for the inclusion of AC PSUs at the base of the AC chassis.

Figure 4) and DC

For slot assignments, see

Tab l e 3 .

Rack-mounting flanges are incorporated into the chassis at the left and right front edges, to enable front-mount at the rack. During installation, you will prepare the rack by attaching a chassis shelf to it, which will support the rear of the rack-mounted chassis.

ShelfControlManagers

The VMG-14+ SCMs fit into the dedicated SCM slots located at the left-front-edge of the chassis. Two SCMs are required for redundancy, and an SCM in either slot can serve as the primary. When the active is removed, the remaining SCM changes state—from standby to active.

Note: Although each Shelf Manager module contains a mini DB25 Telco Alarm interface at the RS-232

port, telco alarm LEds, and Telco alarm cutoff push button, the current release does not support Telco alarm functionality.

FanTrays

The fan trays operate continuously to provide cooling to the system and are monitored by the SCM. In the event of a failure—such as a fan problem or removal of both SCMs—the remaining fans continue to run at full speed. The fan trays are hot swappable field-replaceable units. The VMG-14+ chassis contains two fan trays, which fit into the base of the chassis at the front. Each fan tray contains six fans (

•ON Fan speed is exceeding the normal speed, due to critical alarm.

• During operations: indicates that no problems are detected with the fans, fan tray, or system temperature.

The fan tray replacement procedure is provided in Chapter 5, Fan Tray Removal on Page 64.

FanFilterTray

The VMG-14+ chassis uses a front replaceable Fan Filter Tray (Figure 11). During operations, the system detects the presence of the fan filter, and the fan filter must be in place at all times. The tray inserts horizontally into the chassis front, at the fan filter slot directly above the Fan Trays.

This unit has a grid surface on one side, and a foam liner on the opposite side. The grid (shown below) must be uppermost when installing the Fan Tray Filter at the VMG-14+.

- Each GigE port supports small form factor pluggable (SFP) (16mm H x 42mm D) optical

modules with a data rate of 1.0625Gbps according to IEEE-802.3z.

- Each GigE port supports either single mode or multimode SFP optical modules (the NPM

supports both types simultaneously), and operates on frequencies compliant with the optical channel plan defined in ITU G.692, 100 GHz channel plan appendix IV.

- The NPM supports SFP modules with wavelengths of SX 850nm for short distances up to

65 meters, LX 1310nm for medium distances up to 10 kilometers, or LX 1550nm for long distances up to 70 kilometers.

- The GigE port also supports SFP copper modules of full duplex 1000BaseT Ethernet with

copper interfaces that are compliant with IEEE-802.3ab. The copper SFP module supports distances up to 100 meters.

- Each 10GigE port receives input as MPEG-2 SPTS and MPTS with unicast or multicast, de-jitters

up to 100ms of network jittering and routes the video or data streams to the appropriate application module (VPM, TCM, AMP).

- The 10GigE ports can handle either constant bit rate (CBR) or variable bit rate (VBR) MPEG-2 as

well as H.264 digital video streams in both SD and HD format, then deliver the processed video content over MPEG-2TS / UDP / IP / GigE or MPEG-2TS / RTP / UDP / IP / GigE unicast or multicast IP transport.
