Chapter 1: Introduction Back Modules Figure 1-2 shows the double-slot back modules used by the ACO6800+ISD, ACO6800+DSD, ACO6800+ASID, and ACO6800+IDSD modules, and the triple-slot back module used by the ACO6800+ISCST module. The back and front modules cannot be installed in frames without fans, or in FR6802+DM and 6800/7000 series frames.
Ordered Product Content Description • One ACO6800+ front module ACO6800+ISD • One two-slot back module • One ACO6800+ISD back module overlay • One license key • One GPIO cable • One ACO6800+ISD/ACO6800+DSD/ACO6800+IDSD/ ACO6800+ASID/ACO6800+ISCST Installation and Operation Manual • One ACO6800+ front module ACO6800+DSD •...
Chapter 2: Installation Maximum 6800+ Frame Power Ratings The power consumption for the ACO6800+ISD, ACO6800+DSD, ACO6800+ASID, and ACO6800+IDSD 2-slot modules is less than W. The power consumption for the three-slot ACO6800+ISCST module is less than 13 Table 2-2 shows the maximum allowable power ratings for 6800+ frames.
For best results, terminate any unused coaxial output connectors with a 75Ω connector. Adding a License Key ACO6800+ISD, ACO6800+DSD, and ACO6800+IDSD modules can be converted to one another through use of a license key. It is not possible to upgrade to an ACO6800+ISCST or ACO6800+ASID module.
Control from the main menu. Double-click ACO6800+ in the Navigation pane. The Control dialog box opens displaying the module’s controls. Note Confirm that the four sub-devices (for ACO6800+DSD, ACO6800+ASID, or ACO6800+IDSD) or two sub-devices (for ACO6800+ISD and ACO6800+ISCST) are also discovered, as in Figure 3-1. If the sub-devices are not discovered, re-discover the module.

ACO6800+ISD Parameters, LEDs, and Alarms On-Screen Display Monitoring If you are using card-edge controls to configure your ACO6800+ISD module, you can use the on-screen display (OSD) monitoring feature to view the current parameter selections. When the OSD monitoring is activated, the current parameter selections are displayed on module’s monitoring outputs.
