3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This section provides installation instructions for the various VIP-X hardware components. It offers
recommendations as to placement and positioning of the hardware noted above.
3.1. RACKING VIP-X FRAMES
3.1.1. Xenon 4RU and 8RU
The Xenon frames both 4RU and 8RU are to be mounted in a standard 19” rack. The total depth of the
Xenon frame is 17.75”, and therefore a rack depth of at least 30” or greater is recommended. The
position of the frame within the rack is up to the installer to provide the best access for cabling, etc.
"
The Xenon router and the 7700FR-D frame with 7767VIPX modules, or the 3000FR
with 3000MVP-X-RP4-XLINK rear plates must be positioned so that a 5m (15 foot) X-
LINK cable can be used to interconnect.
3.1.2. EQX 16RU and 26RU
The EQX frames both 16RU and 26RU are to be mounted in a standard 19” rack. The total depth of
the Xenon frame is 19.4”, and therefore a rack depth of at least 30” or greater is recommended. The
position of the frame within the rack is up to the installer to provide the best access for cabling, etc.
"
The Xenon router and the 7700FR-D frame with 7767VIPX modules, or the 3000FR
with 3000MVP-X-RP4-XLINK rear plates must be positioned so that a 5m (15 foot) X-
LINK cable can be used to interconnect.
3.1.3. 7700FR-D / 7700FR-DQ
The 7700FR-D / DQ frames are to be mounted in a standard 19” rack. The total depth of the 7700FR-D
frame is 14.5”. The position of the frame within the rack should be determined by the installer to
provide the best access for cabling, etc.
"
The 7700FR-D frame must be installed so that the 7767VIPX-RP2 rear plate can be
connected to the router via a 5m (15 foot) X-LINK cable. Evertz recommends
placement of the 7700FR-D in the same rack or adjacent rack to the router to which it
is to be connected.
3.2. INSTALLING VIP-X REAR PANELS
3.2.1. Installing XE-OP32xX-XLINK Output Module in Xenon
The XE-OP32SX-XLINK and XE-OP32HX-XLINK output modules are installed in the Xenon 4RU and
Xenon 8RU routers. The XLINK enabled output board must be installed in the first output slot of the
Xenon router. Only a single XE-OP32xX-XLINK output module can be installed in the Xenon 4RU, only
two X-LINK enabled output modules can be installed in the Xenon 8RU. Please refer to Figure 3-1 and
Figure 3-2 for frame layout examples of both the Xenon 4RU and Xenon 8RU.
