On the left hand side is the
mains connection
[25]. At the case of a P
ROCESSOR
with redundant power supplies
there is for both of the two power modules a
mains connection
[25] and additionally a
power switch
[35] and
an
LED
[36] that indicates operation of the power module when lightened. In the middle of the power modules
there is the air supply [14].
The
remote power on/off connector
[16] is for connection to O
MNI
B
US
devices.
With the optional connectors
external genlock in
[17] and
external genlock loop through in
[15] an external genlock signal can be con-
nected to multiple P
ROCESSORS
and O
MNI
B
US
devices.
PS/2 mouse
[26] is for plugging in a PS/2 mouse and
PS/2 keyboard
[27] is for plugging in a PS/2 keyboard.
For USB mouse and USB keyboard the
USB jack
[28] can be used. With the
onboard LAN
adapter
[32] the net-
work connection can be established.
On the right hand side there are different PCI and PCI Express cards [18-24] inserted depending on the actual
hardware configuration of the P
ROCESSOR
.
To protect the P
ROCESSOR
from overheating, the air supply openings in the case shall be kept
free of obstructions!
To disconnect the
P
ROCESSOR
from the power supply all power cords have to be pulled of the
mains connection [25]. Therefore the back panel has to be easily accessible!
The expansion slots
The P
ROCESSOR
AGS-3328-2/-3 and AGS-3390-1/-2 provide each six PCI expansion slots for insertion of PCI expan-
sion cards. Whereas the P
ROCESSOR
AGS-3389 provide four PCI expansion slots for insertion of PCI expansion cards
and three PCI Express expansion slots for insertion of 3
rd
party expansion cards. The slots are numbered in the
following way, if looking from the back to the P
ROCESSOR

With AGS-3390-1/-2 in Processor configuration the PCI slot no. 5 as numbered in the figure
above may not be used for input cards due to mechanical requirements. In a configuration
where all PCI slots are used the input card may be inserted into the PCI slot of an
OmniScaler instead.
In the following sections reference is taken to the numbering of the slots.
