Revision 1.0
To successfully install the 7708SFP module you will require the following:
1. VistaLINK
®
PRO Server IP address.
2. 7700 or 7800 Series Frame.
3. 7700 or 7800 Frame Controller.
Before handling the card it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is
therefore recommended that an ESD strap be worn.
Locate on the chassis one or two vacant slots depending on the module size. Unpack the 7708SFP and
separate the rear panel from the main card. Locate on the rear of the rack the one or two empty slots
and remove the blank panels. Insert the rear panel into the back of the chassis and secure using the
screws provided.
Now insert the 7708SFP card into the corresponding front slots ensuring the card lines up with the slot
runners on the bottom and the top of the chassis. Push the card firmly
into the slot ensuring that when it
mates with the rear card it has been firmly pushed into a seated position.
When installing the Evertz SFP module into the rear plate SFP housing, align the transmit and receive
arrow indicators to the LEFT with the rear plate upright. Gently slide the SFP module into the rear plate
SFP housing until it clicks into place.
