GE FOL, installation
3.5.1
The
ViaLiteHD
GE FOL is available in standard plug-in module - see section 2.1.2 for details on installing these in a chassis. More details
are also provided in the chassis handbook HRK-HB. The card may be fitted in any of the 5HP slots.
GE FOL connecting the module
3.5.2
The
ViaLiteHD
GE FOL has two rear optical ports, the upper one is Tx output and the lower one is Rx input. These ports should be
connected to your optical fibre transmission path. Also at the rear there is a RJ-45 connector. This connector can be connected to any device
supporting 1GB Ethernet
– 1000BASE-T. Ensure that fibre connectors are clean and are of correct type. Chassis mounted version use APC
connectors. Yellow link and Blue Link units use LC PC connectors for fibre connection. The TX port is on the left when viewed from the front
of the unit.
In addition, there is a 30-way DIN type connector at the back of the module, which normally plugs into the relevant socket on the chassis
backplane. The pin assignment is given below.

Note that for the 30 way PCB edge connector, the top and bottom pin pads are electrically connected through the large via holes in the
middle. Hence there are only 15 connections effectively, with 30 pin pads. The PCB connector can be linked to your motherboard through the
via holes using standard 2.54mm pitch pin header.
