N3000 Series User Manual
Mounting Options
The N3000 units are available in stand-alone and card versions. The stand-alone version can be free standing, surface mounted,
wall mounted, or rack mounted. All cards
must be rack mounted
using the N9206 Card Cage (sold separately).
Surface and Wall Mounting
To mount your N3000 stand-alone unit to a flat surface or wall, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the four screws from the bottom of the unit and use them to attach the mounting wings (not included in shipment -
part number N9101). See
Figure 7
.
2.
Place the unit against the solid surface to which you want it mounted.
3.
Using standard hardware, attach the unit through each of the slots of the newly-attached mounting wings.
4.
Connect the appropriate cables necessary for your application. Refer to the sections
Connecting Decoders to the Network
on
page 15 and
Connecting Encoders to the Network and Configuring Stream Settings
on page 16 for more information on these
connections.

N3000 Series Cards
A Card Cage (part number N9206) accommodates up to six N-Series Encoder/Decoder cards (mix and match). The 12V power
supply of the N9206 is the primary power source for the installed cards. If the 12V power supply fails or is unplugged, the cards
will power down, detect PoE (if provided by switch) and restart normally using PoE. This usually results in a power loss of about one
to two seconds. The unit then reboots (which takes another one to two minutes).
Use either of the following
formulas to calculate how much power is required for the N9206. Formulas are based on the power
requirements of each installed card (e.g.,
Power_Slot1
= the power requirements for whatever card is installed in the first slot).
There is extra power added into the calculation to allow for power to the fans (as well as power supply losses).
Total Power = (Power Power Power Power Power Power_Slot6) * 1.2
or
Total BTU/hr = (BTU/hr BTU/hr BTU/hr BTU/hr BTU/hr BTU/hr_Slot6) * 1.2
