FS2 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v3.0 26 www.aja.com
• When rack mounting or stacking multiple FS2 chassis, ensure adequate
airspace for cooling around the FS2 units. Note the location of cooling vents
on all equipment next to the FS2 and ensure none are obstructed.
NOTE: FS2 units can be stacked vertically without limit as long as there is an adequate
supply of cool air around the FS2 vents.
Power Requirements
The FS2 requires the following input voltage and power.
• Input Voltage—Chassis: autosensing 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60Hz,
fully redundant with both power supplies diode isolated.
• Power Consumption—55 Watts.
Networking
You can network the FS2 directly to a laptop or other desktop computer using a
single Ethernet cable (straight or cross-over), or connect it to a local area network
(LAN). In either case, the FS2 connects via its 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet
connector. A LAN is a shared network that includes other Ethernet devices all
attached via a hub or digital switch. LANs may be divided into zones separated by
software or hardware routers. Routers may also be used to connect the LAN to an
outside wide area network (WAN) such as the internet.
Devices on a LAN have IP addresses which may be fixed and permanent or
dynamically assigned by the network (DHCP). When attaching the FS2 to a LAN,
talk to your network administrator to find out how they want it connected (static
IP or DHCP). Your IT department will be able to supply the information you need
to install the FS2 on a LAN.
The following illustration shows a network connection example; your installation
may differ.
