The router may already have some options installed in the module slots required for the
MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer option. These installation instructions do not assume the
presence or absence of any particular option modules already in the router.
The Sirius 800 router controller software version installed on the router must support the
MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer Integrated Multiviewer option. Upgrading the Sirius 800 router
controller software, if required, can be carried out either before or after the MV-800 Integrated
Multiviewer hardware installation.
3.2 Initial Checks and Actions
3.2.1 Router Model Check
One or more MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer modules may be fitted into a Sirius 800 router.
3.2.2 Router Frame Check
The MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer modules must only be fitted into a Mark 3 type Sirius 800
router frame.
This router frame type has a blue fan rack (see Sirius 800 User Manual, section 3.12.1, Table 5).
The fitting of one or more MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer modules into a Sirius 800 router
frame affects the frame’s operating temperature range. See table note in Appendix A
3.2.3 Power Checks
Your Sirius 800 router may already have enough power supply capacity to power the additional
MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer module(s).
However, there are many different Sirius 800 system module combinations. Therefore, before
adding any MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer’s to a Sirius 800 router, check that the configuration
of power supplies and modules fitted to your router can supply sufficient power to the MV-800
Integrated Multiviewer(s):
A router’s available power supply capacity depends on:
• Complement of modules fitted to the router.
• Power Supply Modules fitted to the router.
• Whether the MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer replaces any currently-fitted modules and
their module type.
CAUTION
Fit MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer modules into a Sirius 800
Mark 3
router frame.
CAUTION
Power supply considerations:
The Sirius router must have enough power supply capacity to
power any MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer modules being
fitted.
Check that the configuration of power supplies fitted to your
router can supply sufficient power to the MV-800 Integrated
Multiviewer Multiviewer:
• See Sirius 800 User Manual for router power requirements.
• See Appendix A
MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer power requirements.
