2 Description
The Nevion Ventura VS101 is a carrier class, NEBS Level 3 certified chassis platform. It is
designed to meet the exacting requirements of broadcast and production facilities, the
VS101 is a future-proof solution for professional video processing and transport. The
VS101-3 1RU chassis is designed for both studio & network applications.
Single or dual redundant power supply options are available, by using the internal AC or DC
power unit with optional external power supply. Monitoring of all Ventura card modules &
power supplies within the chassis are sent to summary alarm LED’s that can be viewed
through the front panel. The internal PSU is a field serviceable unit and is hot-swappable.
A fan module, containing three fans, is fitted internally on the right side panel of the chassis.
The fan modules prevent the maximum operating temperature limit of the chassis from
being exceeded, under high ambient temperature conditions. Fan alarms are generated in
the event of a fan failure. The fan module is a field serviceable unit and is hot-swappable
(the card in Slot 3 has to be removed first to allow the fan module to be removed).
The Element Management Card (FCS101-AEMS) is available for use and is fitted above
the internal power supply slot of the chassis. This module provides major and minor alarm
information for each card populated in the chassis. The information can be accessed via a
web browser and the interface is SNMP compliant. For more information on this element
management card, please see the FCS101-AEMS Element Management user manual. All
Ventura card modules fitted in the chassis can be interrogated for comprehensive status,
control and alarm information. The Element Manager card is a field serviceable unit & is
hot-swappable
All Ventura card modules (video, audio etc.) can be mixed in the same chassis, with all
cards hot-swappable. Fiber, video, audio & alarm connections are made to the rear of the
chassis, via individual, card specific, rear connector panels. The VS101-3 chassis is shown
in Figure 1 below.
Originally the VS101-3 chassis contained three card slots, however with the development of
a new range of next generation Ventura cards such as the VS902/904/906/909 which use
more power and require higher air flow cooling, a two slot chassis has been introduced.
This new chassis (VS101-3HP) facilitates the installation of these new cards and includes a
new hi-speed fan tray & external AC PSU. The chassis options are detailed in the Ordering
Options section below.

3 Applications
The VS101 chassis is designed for a range of application including both broadcast and
telco applications. The 1RU chassis is ideal for installations where minimal rack space and
high channel density are important.
The VS101-3 provides accommodation for up to a total of 2 or 3 modules (chassis model
dependent) in the Nevion Ventura 220mm Eurocard range, in any combination of cards.
The space above the power supply is reserved for the FCS101-AEMS element
management card, when this option is required. The chassis can be mounted in standard
19” racks.
The VS101 internal and external power units are designed to provide the maximum load
possible, when all three chassis slots are occupied with only one power unit installed.
When the external power supply is used, full power redundancy is achieved.
Two A.C or two DC. or one D.C. and one A.C power sources may be installed, depending
upon ordering option.

5 VS101-3 Chassis
The VS101-3 chassis allows Ventura card modules to be fitted from the front of the chassis.
All connections are made to the rear of chassis.
The card slots number (from the front) left to right with card slot 1 next to the PSU and
AEMS modules. Card slot 1 is not available for Ventura card modules in the VS101-3HP
version of the chassis.
Figure 3: VS101 Chassis Front View
When opening the front door of the chassis, unscrew the retaining screws simultaneously.
Pull the front panel forward then allow it to drop down for access to the interior of the
chassis. To remove cards from the chassis, unscrew the locking screws. Then use the
card module handles or the unseat tool by hooking it on the desired card and then firmly
pulling out.
Ventura card connector panels fit horizontally on the rear of the chassis. They are secured
with two retaining screws. For ease of installation, the tie-bar drops down to allow access
to the rear connector panels installed on the chassis.
