Mounting Options
The N2X51 units are available in stand-alone and card versions. The stand-alone version can be free standing, surface mounted,
wall mounted, or rack mounted. All cards must be rack mounted using the NMX-ACC-N9206 Card Cage (sold separately).
Surface and Wall Mounting
To mount your N2X51 stand-alone unit to a flat surface or wall, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the four screws from the bottom of the unit and use them to attach the mounting wings (sold separately - part
number NMX-ACC-N9101). See
2.
Place the unit against the solid surface to which you want it mounted.
3.
Using standard hardware, attach the unit through each of the slots of the newly-attached mounting wings.
4.
Connect the appropriate cables necessary for your application. Refer to the sections : Connecting Decoders to the Network on
page 14 and : Connecting Encoders to the Network and Conf iguring Stream Settings on page 15 for more information on these
connections.

N2X51 Series Cards
The N-Series Card Cage (part number NMX-ACC-N9206) accommodates any combination of up to six N-Series Encoder/Decoder
cards. The NMX-ACC-N9206 card chassis provides 12V connections to all cards (installed as the primary power source).
Use either of the following
requirements of each installed card (e.g., Power_Slot1 = the power requirements for whatever card is installed in the first slot).
These formulas adds a 20% margin to the power requirements of the cards to allow for the chassis cooling fan power consumption
as well as any inherent power supply losses.
Total Power = (Power_Slot1 + Power_Slot2 + Power_Slot3 + Power_Slot4 + Power_Slot5 + Power_Slot6) * 1.2
or
Total BTU/hr = (BTU/hr_Slot1 + BTU/hr_Slot2 + BTU/hr_Slot3 + BTU/hr_Slot4 + BTU/hr_Slot5 + BTU/hr_Slot6) * 1.2
