  • Page 18: Front And Back Modules

    Figure 1-1 illustrates the position of the LEDs and card-edge controls on the front module of the DES-3901-S and DNS-3901-S video decoder products. Front modules are designated by the suffix “-FM”. For example, the front module of the DES-3901-S is the “DES-3901-S-FM”.
  • Page 19: Back Module

    In the NEO frame, back modules are placed directly behind the front modules, facing the rear. Figure 1-2 Figure 1-3 show the DES-3901-S and DNS-3901-S back module connections. Back modules are designated by the suffix “-BM”. For example, the back module of the DES-3901-S is the “DES-3901-S-BM”. OUT 3 OUT 4...
