2.7 TERMINAL CONFIGURATION
The RFL 9870 is housed in a single 3U high rack mounted chassis. Depending upon options and the
configuration selected, an expansion chassis may be required, bringing the height to 6U. Table 2-2
shows general information about the available modules for the RFL 9780. Figures 2-3, 2-4 and 2-5
show block diagrams of the Tx/Rx, Tx/Tx and Rx/Rx terminal configurations. A summary of each
module is included in paragraphs 2.8.1 through 2.8.12. Detailed descriptions of the modules can be
found in Sections 6 through 20.
2.8 RFL 9780 SUBASSEMBLIES
Each RFL 9780 terminal contains several circuit board modules and I/O modules. Paragraphs 2.8.1
through 2.8.12 describe the different modules used in the RFL 9780 terminal.
