Setup Check List
The purpose of this section is to provide a check list that can be followed to setup 914-X Series systems both
physically and through electronic configuration. Details regarding each step can be found in this manual via the
referenced section links.
1. Expansion cards:
a. Set dip switch to appropriate setting, refer to
Section 6.1.6
i.
The (bottom) card closest to the 914-HDE should be set to OFF, OFF (Expansion 1).
2. Mounting cards:
a.
5/32” (4 mm) minimum clearance under the 914-HDE. (included standoff P/N EL-M0260)
b.
21/32” (16.67 mm) nominal standoffs of 2-56 type between cards. (included standoff P/N EL-M0247)
c.
All 914-X Series cards provide electrically isolated conductive cooling via the mounting holes.
d. Thermal gap material (optional P/N 914-0118-00) to provide conductive cooling to an enclosure should be placed under
the 914-HDE.
e. Stacking order is 914-HDE on bottom, then medium speed (MS) expansion cards directly above, ending with low speed
(LS) expansion cards on top. Media Converters and optical cards do not require electrical connection via the expansion
connector, they can be the furthest away from the 914-HDE.
f.
Refer to
Section 10.1
3. Connect console to remote via LC to LC fiber jumper. For short links, attenuation is required. 10 dB is the suggested
minimum attenuation in the fiber link. For flux budget calculations refer to
Section 4.8.1.
4. Connect the diagnostic port of the
console
914-HDE to a computer using either the local COM port or a serial-to-USB
converter. Install and run the 914 Diagnostic GUI. Refer to
Section 5.0
5. Connect the 914-HDE to a DC power supply with 5 V to 12 V power. Refer to
Section 4.2
. All power LEDs on each card
should be lit green. Verify all system voltages in the 914 Diagnostic GUI. Refer to
Section 5.0
6. Configure all cards (except 914-AX) via Diagnostic GUI:
a. Configure console HDE
i.
Serial protocol. Refer to
Section 5.1.2
ii.
Ethernet auto-negotiate settings. Refer to
Section 0.
b. Configure console VDX
i.
Set as console. Refer to
Section 6.1.7
ii.
Set video direction to input. Refer to
Section 6.1.7
iii.
Set serial protocol. Refer to
Section 6.1.8
c.
Configure console EX
i.
Set as console. Refer to
Section 6.1.7
ii.
Set Ethernet speed and negotiation. Refer to
Section 6.1.7
d. Configure remote HDE
i.
Serial protocol. Refer to
Section 5.1.2
ii.
Ethernet auto-negotiate settings. Refer to
Section 0.
e. Configure remote VDX
i.
Set as remote. Refer to
Section 6.1.7
ii.
Set video direction to output. Refer to
Section 6.1.7
iii.
Set serial protocol. Refer to
Section 6.1.8
f.
Configure remote EX
i.
Set as remote. Refer to
Section 6.1.7
ii.
Set Ethernet speed and negotiation. Refer to
Section 6.1.7
g. Turn the power off, wait 10 seconds and power up again. Confirm the settings are correct using the 914 Diagnostic
GUI.
7. Connect video, Ethernet and serial as required. Verify status and activity in the 914 Diagnostic GUI.
a. HD Video
– Refer to
Section 4.3
b. Ethernet
– Refer to
Section 4.5
c.
Serial
– Refer to
Section 4.4
d. Composite video
– Refer to
Section 6.1.2
8. Perform bench level testing to verify links. Refer to troubleshooting
Section 14.0
9. Install cards in system, ensure good thermal contact via mounting hardware, thermal gap pads, and heat spreaders. Refer
to
Section 10.0
10. Verify and monitor the FPGA and SFP temperatures and voltages during operation using the 914 Diagnostic GUI. All values
should remain in green.
