easy and quick to install. Blank plates must be installed if the slots are not populated with openGear cards and
rear modules.
openGear Rear Modules
If your OGX-FR frame was ordered with cards requiring full rear modules or split rear modules, the appropriate
modules are installed at the factory or included with the cards.
Supports DFR-8321 and OG3-FR Rear Modules
The OGX-FR frame supports all existing rear modules designed for the DFR-8321 and OG3-FR frames. However,
rear modules designed for use in the OGX-FR frame are not compatible with other openGear frames.
OGX-FR Series User Guide (v1.0) Hardware Overview • 15
Page 16
Identifying an OGX-FR Rear Module
There are two ways to identify an OGX-FR frame rear module:
• the notched top of the rear module, and
• a small notch on the bottom left corner of the rear module that fits into a second seating slot on the midplane of
the OGX-FR frames. Note that this small notch is not present on other frame rear module types.
Caution — Attempting to install an OGX-FR frame rear module into an OG3-FR, DFR-8321,
DFR-8320, or DFR-8310 frame can damage the rear module.
Rear Module Types
This section provides an overview of the rear module types for your OGX-FR frame.
Full Rear Modules
The full rear modules features a single card connector and can include a combination of BNC, WECO™, fiber
optic, serial, and ethernet connectors. Each module occupies two slots in the frame and accommodates one card.
Ensure the openGear card is installed in the correct slot in the OGX-FR frame. Up to 10 cards can be installed in a
frame when using these modules.
Split Rear Modules
Much like the modules for the OG3-FR frames, split modules for the OGX-FR frame features two card connectors
and can have a combination of BNC, WECO™, fiber optic, serial, and ethernet connectors. Each card connector is
routed to a column of five BNCs. A split rear module occupies two slots in the OGX-FR frame but provides
connectors for two openGear cards, allowing you to install up to 20 cards in the frame.
Blank Rear Modules
Blank Rear Modules (R2-BLANK) are used when the slot does not have an openGear card installed. This helps to
ensure proper frame cooling and ventilation.

Physical Installation
If you have questions pertaining to the installation of OGX-FR, please contact us at the numbers listed in the section
“Contacting Technical Support”. Our technical staff is always available for consultation, training, or service.
For More Information on...
• the technical specifications for the OGX-FR, refer to the chapter “Technical Specifications” on page 35.
• installing an openGear card and its rear module in the OGX-FR frame, refer to the user guide for your openGear
card.
Before You Begin
The OGX-FR mounts in the rack frame by means of four rack screws fastened through the front mounting ears.
This should normally be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight of accompanying cables. However, in
certain applications such as mobile truck installations, it may be desirable to also support the rear of the frame. The
optional Rear Support Bars and Brackets are specifically engineered to compensate for extra load stress.
For More Information on...
• installing the brackets, refer to the section “Installing the Rear Support Bars and Brackets” on page 18.
• the frame dimensions, refer to Tab le 9 .1 on page 35.
Static Discharge
Throughout this chapter, please heed the following cautionary note:
ESD Susceptibility — Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor
devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas and when
synthetic fiber clothing is worn. Always exercise proper grounding precautions when working on circuit
boards and related equipment.
Ventilation and Cooling
Your OGX-FR frame was specially engineered to minimize internal heat buildup and thus improve card reliability.
For More Information on...
• the power dissipation of individual openGear cards, refer to the user guide for your card.
• replacing the cooling fan module, refer to the section “Fan Filter Maintenance” on page 31.
Ventilation
For applications using less than 40W in a non-ventilated OGX-FR, but where the individual card power
consumption is greater than 8W, the cards should be evenly distributed in the frame. This will prevent the creation
of concentrated heat, or unbalanced heat-rise areas, in the frame.
Notice — For reliable performance, it is recommended that the OGX-FR frame door not be opened for
longer than 5 minutes on frames loaded with more than 40W. For some extra high power cards, the door
should not be open for more than 1 minute.
Cooling Fan Module
The OGX-FR frames come standard with a Cooling Fan Module installed in the frame door. The frame and
PS-OGX can supply up to a maximum of 500W of card power, with 15W per card. Under these ventilated

stacked one on top of the other, a feature that is highly desirable in densely crowded rack frame environments.
Caution — The two sides of the OGX-FR frame have perforations that are needed to ventilate the
power supplies and must not be blocked.
Airflow Requirements
Under some conditions, the ambient air temperature inside rack-mount cabinets can be greater that the ambient
temperature within a room. For safe long term reliability, ensure the ambient air temperatures at the OGX-FR frame
front intake area are within the product’s specified operating temperature range. Adequate ventilation within a rack
frame must also be maintained. Ensure to adhere to the following clearance recommendations:
• Minimum 2” (5.08cm) clearance both right and left-hand side of the chassis sides with unrestricted vertical
airflow.
• Minimum 5” (12.7cm) clearance at the chassis rear with unrestricted vertical airflow.
Installation Requirements
Keep the following in mind when installing your OGX-FR frame:
• Install the frame for maximum stability during operation and in such a way as to allow adequate ventilation.
• The frame cannot be sealed in a closed container and must be installed in free air space where the ambient
temperature is monitored and controlled to not exceed 40°C (104°F) at the frame front door airflow intake.
• Ensure that adequate space exists in front and behind the frame and on both sides of the frame for airflow
exhaust.
• The location of the frame should be accessible, dry, and dust-free.
Installing the Rear Support Bars and Brackets
Under normal conditions, mounting the OGX-FR frame to the front of the rack with four rack screws should be
sufficient to carry the load, including the weight of accompanying cables.
To help reduce mechanical stress due to cable weight, the FSB-OGX rear support brackets are available for the
OGX-FR frame. The FSB-OGX are specifically engineered to compensate for extra load stress associated with
certain applications, such as mobile truck installations, to also support the rear of the OGX-FR frame.
Installing the FSB-OGX
This section describes how to attach the FSB-OGX rear support bars to a OGX-FR frame.
The FSB-OGX cannot be installed on the DFR-8321 or DFR-8310 frames.
To install the FSB-OGX
1. Attach the Rack Mount Arms of the FSB-OGX to the OGX-FR frame.

Connecting to a Power Supply
The OGX-FR comes standard with one power supply, with a second optional power supply (PS-OGX) available for
redundancy. For redundancy, and in applications where the equipment is used in a critical signal path, we
recommend that two power supplies be used in the OGX-FR. One A/C power cable has been provided with each
power supply ordered.
For further redundancy, each power cord should be connected to a separate power source for protection against
failure of the A/C power circuit. In the event of one power supply failure, the frame load is seamlessly transferred to
the other redundant power supply. Although the power supply is “hot-swappable” turning the power supply off
before inserting or removing it from the frame will increase the life span of the connectors.

OGX-FR
To Reference Source 1
To Reference Source 2
The OGX-FR frame includes two independent looping reference BNCs (REF 1, REF 2) with connection to each
card slot. Each REF BNC accepts a single composite or tri-level sync signal to feed timing information to the
openGear cards installed in the frame.
GFC-8322 Overview
The GFC-8322 receives the analog reference signals driven to the REF 1 and REF 2 BNCs located on the rear
panel of OGX-FR frame. The GFC-8322 then distributes both reference signals to each of the 20 slots in the frame.
Frame settings such as the frame IP address, frame name, and the frame serial number are stored on the GFC-8322
via its Serial EEPROM.
Connecting a Video Reference Source
This feature distributes one or two reference signals to all cards in the OGX-FR frame. Cards which need an
external reference use this master reference signal in place of taking the signal from one of the card BNCs. This
provides for ease of installation and reduction in reference cabling requirements.
Connecting to a Reference Source
If only one reference type is required for the OGX-FR frame, connect it to the REF 1 BNC. Two reference types
enables you to use reference sources with a different signal formats, each via a separate REF BNC.
For More Information on...
• on specifying the analog reference source for your openGear card, refer to its user guide.
To connect a reference source to the OGX-FR
1. Connect one end of a Belden cable to the REF 1 BNC on the OGX-FR rear panel.
2. Connect the other end of the same Belden cable to the applicable output port on the external reference source
device.
Figure 6.1 OGX-FR — Reference Input Cabling
3. If the reference is not being looped to another device, ensure that the REF 1 LOOP BNC is terminated with a
75ohm terminator.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for REF 2 if a second reference source is required.
Looping the Reference Signals
Use this procedure if you have multiple frames that will switch simultaneously.
OGX-FR Series User Guide (v1.0) Reference Cabling • 23
Page 24
To loop a reference signal
1. Connect the REF 1 LOOP BNC on the rear panel of the first frame to the REF 1 IN BNC on the rear panel of
the next frame using a 75ohm coaxial cable.
2. Continue looping the REF connectors across the frames that you want reference to this signal.
3. Ensure that the last frame in the video referencing loop has a 75ohm termination connected to its REF 2 IN
BNC.
Troubleshooting
During normal operation, the GFC-8322 must never be removed from the OGX-FR frame. To ensure this, the metal
retaining latch located on the front of the GFC-8322 must be engaged (pushed down) to prevent accidental removal
of the GFC-8322 from its slot.
Verify that the GFC-8322 is properly seated in its slot and the retaining latch is engaged when troubleshooting any
of the following conditions:
• reference signals are unavailable to the cards installed in the OGX-FR frame
• loss of network connection or the network settings for the OGX-FR frame were reset to the default values

Using DashBoard
This chapter provides instructions for launching DashBoard, displaying the OGX-FR in the Tree View of
DashBoard, and accessing the interfaces for the openGear cards installed in your frame.
Overview
Each OGX-FR frame reports the openGear cards installed in its chassis as sub-nodes in DashBoard. Each openGear
card can be configured and monitored independently via its options in DashBoard.
Before you can access your openGear cards, you must first ensure the OGX-FR displays in DashBoard. There are
two methods for adding an OGX-FR frame to the Tree View in DashBoard:
• using the auto-connect feature or
• manually adding a frame by specifying the IP address of the frame.
Both methods are described in the following sections.
Launching DashBoard
DashBoard connects to the OGX-FR frame using a TCP/IP LAN connection.
DashBoard must run on a computer that has a physical wired ethernet connection. Wireless connections do not
allow device discovery.
For More Information on...

following basic troubleshooting checklist may help identify the source of the problem. If the frame still does not
appear to be working properly after checking all possible causes, please contact your openGear products distributor,
or the Technical Support department at the numbers listed under the “Contacting Technical Support” on page 10.
1. Visual Review — Performing a quick visual check may reveal many problems, such as connectors not
properly seated or loose cables. Check the card, the frame, and any associated peripheral equipment for signs of
trouble.
2. Power Check — Inspect the power indicator LED on the distribution frame front panel for the presence of
power. If the power LED is not illuminated, verify that the power cable is connected to a power source and that
power is available at the power main. Confirm that the power supplies are fully seated in their slots. If the
power LED is still not illuminated, replace the power supply with one that is verified to work.
3. Input Signal Status — Verify that source equipment is operating correctly and that a valid signal is being
supplied.
4. Output Signal Path — Verify that destination equipment is operating correctly and receiving a valid signal.
5. Unit Exchange — Exchanging a suspect unit with a unit that is known to be working correctly is an efficient
method for localizing problems to individual units.
