2.2 Universal rear connectors
When using the RM28 single height rear connector, the 4U Indigo 4 frame will house up
to 24 modules and three power supplies. The 2U Indigo 2 frame will house up to 12
modules and dual power supplies, while the 1U Indigo 1 frame will house six modules
and a single or dual power supply. The Indigo DT desk top boxes do not currently accept
the Crystal Vision optical modules.
The Indigo frames have hinged front panels giving access to the PSU and all modules.
The universal frame wiring system allows any interface range modules to be fitted in any
position

with the use of pluggable rear modules.

Due to height restraints, some restrictions apply when mixing optical modules with other Crystal Vision
modules.
Loading restrictions
The FRX HD can be loaded into any compatible frame’s slot but due to the extra height
of the FRX HD it is not possible to place cards from the Crystal Vision Standard
Definition or audio range directly above in certain positions. High Definition boards do
not share this restriction.
