Installation
2.1 Installation of Rear Connector Panels
The HDA-3961 card
is sized to fit into Grass Valley’s Densité 3 frame. Grass Valley Densité-series cards are each
associated with a rear connector panel, which must be installed in the Densité 3 frame before the card can be inserted.
The following rear connector panels are available for the HDA-3961:
HDA-3961-3SRP-HF
Single rear panel with single 1×10 or dual 2×5 HD-BNC with fiber option support
HDA-3961-3SRP-2IN
Single rear panel with single 1×6 or dual 2×3 BNCs
All cards and rear panels can be installed with the frame power on. The card has connectors which plug into a mid-frame
mother board for distribution of power and for connection to the controller card, and a second connector which plugs directly
into the rear connector panel for input and output.
The rear connector panel must be installed with the card out of the frame.
To remove an existing card from the slot, tilt up the swivel handle on the front of the card to lever the connectors apart,
then use the handle to pull the card straight out of the slot.

– rear panel installation
To install the connector panel:
1. If a card is installed in the slot whose rear panel is being changed, remove it as described above.
2. Remove the existing panel (either blank or belonging to an existing card that is being changed) by releasing the
captive screw(s) at the bottom.
3. Position the new panel and secure it in place with the captive screw(s) at the bottom.
2.2 Card Installation
Once a matching rear connector panel has been installed, install the HDA-3961 card as follows:
1. Open the front panel of the frame.
2. Slide the HDA-3961 card into the slot and push gently on the handle to seat the connectors.
Inserting the card into the wrong slot will not damage the card, and will be flagged by the on-card status LED
flashing red to indicate that there is no connection to the rear panel.
3. Close the front panel of the frame.
