10.5 Fitting / Removing Cards and Rear Panels
A Vega-MV unit is not a modular product; it has defined routing and multiviewer capabilities
and is shipped from the factory in a fixed configuration. The fitting and removal of front cards
and rear panels is not an operational procedure. And it may only be required as part of a
fault-finding process to resolve a Vega-MV unit problem.
When fitting and/or removing cards and rear panels, the cards must be fitted into their
respective slot locations, see Section 4.4.1 "Card Slot Numbering" on page 34.
Vega-MV video routing and multiviewer system functions may be affected, see sub-sections
below.
To assist with card removal and insertion, each card has a card ejector on its front edge, see
Figure 144.
Important:
Before attempting any fitting or removal of cards or rear panels,
please refer to Appendix D “Trouble Shooting” on page 226 for fault-finding guidance
and/or contact SAM customer support.
Note:
•
All cards and rears can be hot-swapped.
•
If a card is removed and not replaced with another card, the existing rear panel
should be removed and replaced with a blanking rear panel must be fitted.
•
Changes to card load-out are automatically detected by the associated Vega-MV
unit MV-CTL card.
•
Input cards can be hot swapped so there is no need to power down the frame when
installing or removing them.
