2 Installation
2.1 Installation of Rear Connector Panel
The IPG-4901 card is designed to fit into Grass Valley’s GV Node IP aggregation, processing and edge routing
platform. Each modular card designed for this platform is associated with a rear connector panel that provides both
internal and external connectivity for the card.
A single rear connector panel is available for the IPG-4901:
•
IPG-4901-4SRP
Single-slot-width panel for GV Node
The card and the rear panel can be installed with the frame power on.
The rear connector panel must be installed with the card out of the frame.
To install the connector panel:
1. If a card is installed in the slot whose rear panel is being changed, remove it by tilting the swivel handle on the
front of the card to lever the connectors apart, then using the handle to pull the card straight out of the slot.
2. Remove the existing rear panel (either blank or belonging to an existing card that is being changed) by
releasing the captive screw at the bottom of the panel.
3. Position the new panel and secure it in place with the captive screw(s) at the bottom.
2.2 IPG-4901 Card Installation
Once the rear connector panel is in place, install the IPG-4901 card as follows:
1. Open the front door of the GV Node frame.
2. Slide the IPG-4901 card into the slot (swivel handle at the top) and push gently on the handle to seat the
connectors.
3. Close the front door of the frame.
2.3 Rear Panel Layout and Connectors
Two 10 Gb Ethernet interfaces (each with Tx and Rx) on optical fiber or twinax cable. SFP+ modules and matching
fiber or electrical connectors are required for the interface.
