2 Internal parts
FlashCase is internally a five positions Flashlink frame for standard Flashlink cards and
backplane. Any combination and any position of cards can be used to a maximum of five
cards.
One limitation: L-Band cards are not designed to be used in FlashCase.
Connection from Flashlink backplanes to FlashCase backplane is with internal cabling. This
makes it possible to meet different configuration for the cards. On FlashCase backplane
standard broadcast connector is used.
When a D422-MG card is used a new version of the backplane is needed, D422-MG-C3.
This backplane is needed for a full flexible configuration for all com ports and GPI ports. The
base for internal cabling is on Molex connectors.
