Model 903 User's Guide, FMB-X-2.5 Version 4.0 Video Cards This section contains information about the video cards that can be used in a Model 903 system. Typically the video cards are inserted in slot A and slot B of the 903 rack.
Although designed to take advantage of -X backplanes, VIB-X cards are also backwards compatible with older Model 903 backplanes. The only difference between the VIB-X versions of VIB-TX and VIB-RX cards is the factory switch setting.
903-0623-00 Rev. A Model 903 User's Guide, FMB-X-2.5 Version 4.1.2 Configuration Settings The VIB-X is configured as a remote (video input) or console (video output) using switch SW3, as shown in Figure 4.1-3 and Table 4.1-1. Circuit 1 is used to set the card as video input or output and circuit 2 is used for setting normal operation (mux mode, default) or for factory test options (test mode).
The sync status of each video channel is represented by the sync LEDs on the corresponding FMB-X-2.5 modules. Furthermore, for 903 systems that have both the FMB-X-2.5 and backplane -X cards, the diagnostics software at the surface can monitor the status of the remote VIB-X card, including input voltage overload flags, current video format configuration, and card assembly information, such as serial number.

903-0623-00 Rev. A Model 903 User's Guide, FMB-X-2.5 Version GBES 4 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Board Card P/N 903-5087-XX The GBES (Quad Gigabit Ethernet Switch) interface board is a media converter card for fiber optic transmission of Gigabit Ethernet between the remote and console modules. The GBES card operates as a 4-port switch, eliminating the need for external switches prior to conversion of the electrical Ethernet links to optical signals.
IEEE 802.3ab standard. External cables should meet or exceed Cat 5e EIA/TIA 568A/B specifications. GBES cards in a Model 903 system use a CWDM optical channel wavelength (e.g. 1471 nm) for an uplink and a separate CWDM channel (e.g. 1491 nm) as a downlink.
The adaptor board provides the necessary power supply regulation and optical bushings to connect the 907 card to a 903 system. The 907-HDV (HD-SDI) media converter card mounted on the 907-EURO (Eurocard adaptor) uses an SFP transceiver with a high data rate to support the 1.5 Gbaud signals.
903-0623-00 Rev. A Model 903 User's Guide, FMB-X-2.5 Version Because of the high bandwidth of the HD-SDI signal, any external cabling and connectorization must adhere to proper RF practices. For example, 75-ohm cabling and connectors should be used throughout the entire link. Any connectors or cables with the wrong impedance, for example with straight wired pins and/or no shielding, will cause reflections and signal degradation.
903-0623-00 Rev. A Model 903 User's Guide, FMB-X-2.5 Version Figure 6.4-2: 907-HDV (HD-SDI) Media Converter Card HD-SDI cards use a single CWDM optical channel wavelength (e.g. 1611 nm) for an uplink. If configured for bidirectional ECL/PECL operation, two separate CWDM wavelengths are used.

Disconnect the end of the VOAT that is connected to the console FMB-X-2.5 and measure the optical power received (received sensitivity) by connecting that end of the VOAT to the optical power meter.
By default the FMB-X-2.5 cards are calibrated at the factory when a new 903 system is shipped and no calibration should be required, but if a calibration is deemed necessary then please consult the 903-0622-00 diagnostic manual.
PCBAs are kept clean and free from electrostatic discharge. BOARD REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION Model 903 boards are each held in place by two slotted screws through the front panel. Cards are held in place within the rack by standard Eurocard card guides and 96-pin backplane connectors. Since the Model 903 is designed to operate in environments with vibration present, the connectors used to mate the PCBAs to the backplane have a strong mating force.
