Chapter 2: Installation
Installing the Modules
Due to high levels of heat dissipation, the modules must not be installed in
frames without fans. The modules cannot be installed in FR6802
+
DM or
6800/7000 series frames.
These modules require no specialized installation or removal procedures.
However, if you are installing both front module and back connector, ensure that
the back connector is installed first before plugging in the front module.
Likewise, ensure that the front module is unplugged from the frame before
removing the back connector. See the installation and operation manual for your
frame
for information about installing and operating the frame and its
components.
Use the FR6802
+
RM (Rear Support Extension Rails for 6800
+
series frames)
for the modules. See the installation and operation manual for your frame for
installation instructions.
Caution
Before installing this product, read the 6800
+
Series Safety Instructions and
Standards Manual shipped with every frame installation and operation
manual. This information is also available on our website. The safety
manual contains important information about the safe installation and
operation of 6800
+
series products.
Upgrading Module Firmware
Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install
newer versions of software on 6800
+
modules. Navigator software version 4.4
or later is required to perform this procedure on ACO6800
+
modules. The
frame must contain or be connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800
+
or a 6800
+
ETH module, version 4.1 or higher.
You can upgrade your 6800
+
module’s firmware using the Software Upgrade
tool in CCS Navigator 4.4 or higher. See your frame manual for more
information.
Caution
The File Transfer tab is not meant to be used for firmware upgrades. Use
the Software Upgrade tool to upgrade module firmware.
If you do not use the correct firmware version, your module may display
incorrect menu structures, thumbnail failures, and software upgrade failures.
Note
Note
The module uses high-speed upgrading in ASI mode, and normal field
upgrading in SDI mode.
