Mounting Options
The N2X51 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 NMX-ACC-N9206 Card Cage (sold separately).
Surface and Wall Mounting
To mount your N2X51 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 (sold separately - part
number NMX-ACC-N9101). See
.
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
: Connecting Encoders to the Network and Configuring Stream Settings
on page 15 for more information on these
connections.

N2X51 Series Cards
The N-Series Card Cage (part number NMX-ACC-N9206) accommodates any combination of up to six N-Series Encoder/Decoder
cards. The NMX-ACC-N9206 card chassis provides 12V connections to all cards (installed as the primary power source).
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).
These formulas adds a 20% margin to the power requirements of the cards to allow for the chassis cooling fan power consumption
as well as any inherent 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
