Kaleido-X (4RU) Installation
Rack-Mount Installation
• Serial port adapters (one with straight cabling and one with crossover cabling for each
output card in your multiviewer):
Rack-Mount Installation
Kaleido may be installed in a standard 19-inch rack, using the proper screws and washers
(not included). The Kaleido-RCP2 Remote Control Panel (optional) may also be installed in a
rack using the optional KRCP-RK2 mounting kit.
For proper ventilation, make sure the front and side panel air vents are not blocked and the
air filter is clean.
Frame and Electrical Installation
Kaleido-X (4RU) is a self-contained unit consisting of a frame, redundant power supplies,
and various input and output cards. The monitor wall displays and external control devices
complete the system.
Frame
The Kaleido-X (4RU) frame is 4 RU high. It incorporates an internal midplane for
interconnecting the cards. Cards are installed from the front of the frame. Each card is
associated with input and/or output connectors which are mounted on a connector panel.
These connector panels are installed from the rear of the frame, in the same vertical
position as their associated card. The redundant power supplies are installed in the lower
right-hand corner of the frame.
The hinged front door can be opened to give access to the cards.
The Kaleido-X (4RU) frame incorporates the following key elements:
• A rack-mountable mechanical framework
• A side-opening, removable door to cover and protect the front of the frame and the
installed cards
• A midplane board that enables inter-card communication
• Slots for installing signal processing cards that plug into the midplane
• Mounting points for rear connector panels
• Redundant power supplies
• Ventilation
The front slots and rear panel connection points are color-coded according to the type of
card that can be located in the slot. The extractor handles on the cards are color-coded to
match. The cards are physically configured so they cannot be installed in the wrong type of
slot.
