3.2 Initial Checks and Actions
3.2.1 Router Model Check
One or more MV-801 modules may be fitted into a Sirius 800 router.
3.2.2 Router Frame Check
The MV-801 modules must only be fitted into a Mark 3 type Sirius 800 router frame.

This router frame type has a blue fan rack (see Sirius 800 User Manual , section 3.12.1, Table 5).
The fitting of one or more MV-801 modules into a Sirius 800 router frame affects the frame’s
operating temperature range. See table note in Appendix A
Physical/Electrical , on page 45.
3.2.3 Power Checks
Your Sirius 800 router may already have enough power supply capacity to power the additional
MV-801 module(s).
However, there are many different Sirius 800 system module combinations. Therefore, before
adding any MV-801’s to a Sirius 800 router, check that the configuration of power supplies and
modules fitted to your router can supply sufficient power to the MV-801(s):
A router’s available power supply capacity depends on:
• Complement of modules fitted to the router.
• Power Supply Modules fitted to the router.
• Whether the MV-801 replaces any currently-fitted modules and their module type.
3.2.4 Fitting of Video SFPs to MV-801 Rear Panel
Before fitting the Rear Panel (1312) into the router frame, first fit any SFP video modules, if this
has not already been done. This sub-section provides SFP video module fitting guidelines.
CAUTION Fit MV-801 modules into a Sirius 800 Mark 3 router frame.
CAUTION Power supply considerations:
The Sirius router must have enough power supply capacity to
power any MV-801 modules being fitted.
Check that the configuration of power supplies fitted to your
router can supply sufficient power to the MV-801 Multiviewer:
• See Sirius 800 User Manual for router power requirements.
• See Appendix A MV-801 Specification , on page 45 for
MV-801 power requirements.
• Contact Grass Valley support for advice.
Note: It is possible to hot-plug SFP modules but this is not recommended
here.

Because it is easier and more practical to fit them to the MV-801 Rear
Panel before it is fitted into the router frame.
