Figure 1-2 Rear View Of Vb Chassis - Honeywell VideoBloX User Manual

VideoBloX modules are mounted from the front of the chassis. The modules are fitted
horizontally to allow for vertical system expansion. All modules (except the power supply
module) are position independent.
Modules are "hot-swappable" and may be removed and reinserted with the power on.
The power supply module is fitted vertically beside the other modules. This module may
not be removed with the power switched on and is not position independent.

A separate terminal card is inserted at the rear of the chassis. Terminal cards for BNC
input/output, D type connectors, alarm connectors, etc. are available. Although modules
are position independent, it is necessary to match the module with the terminal card.
The VideoBloX chassis incorporates the following components:
•
Backplane: The backplane provides for distribution of power and control signals
as well as 64 audio or video (or mixed) signals. The distance between modules is
1/2U.
•
Cooling System: VideoBloX is equipped with fans, which provide forced cooling
to ensure reliable operation for a fully populated chassis in ambient temperatures
up to 40 degrees Celsius. Highly efficient, switch mode power supplies are used
throughout, which minimizes the power dissipated internally.
•
Terminal card mounting slots: Located on the rear of the VideoBloX chassis
allowing for different style terminal cards to be fitted.
•
Module mounting slots: Located on the front of the VideoBloX chassis allowing
for insertion of the full range of VideoBloX modules, except the power supply unit.
•
Power supply slot: Allowing for insertion of the power supply module accessible
from the front of the VideoBloX chassis.
