7812UDXD SERIES “SLOT BLOCKER”
The 7812UDXD series of modules can be installed in either the 7700FR-C or the 7800FR frames. These
modules are designed to take two slots in the Evertz 7800FR frame and three slots in the 7700FR-C.
Modules can fit into two slots in a 7800FR frame because the 7800FR allows modules to consume more
power on a per slot basis than the Evertz 7700FR-C. When a 7812UDXD series module is installed in the
7700FR-C, the module must occupy 3 slots to ensure that the frame power is managed properly. This is
accomplished by installing a “Slot Blocker” on the bottom side of the board. If the “Slot Blocker” is not
installed on the card and the card is inserted into the 7700FR, the card will not power-up. When installing
the card in a 7800FR, the “Slot Blocker” may be removed and it will power-up and operate normally. If the
“Slot Blocker” remains installed and the card is inserted into the 7800FR, the card will also power-up and
operate normally.
