Building Universal Videohub 288
25 rack units of space should be reserved for the installation of Universal Videohub 288 and
two rack mount power supply chassis, allowing free space for heat dissipation. Only 23 RU is
required if Universal Videohub 288 is mounted at the top of an open rack as heat can be
dissipated from the top.
Universal Videohub 288 is 18 RU high and 6 inches thick. You can rack mount Universal
Videohub 288 facing forwards or reversed, or even mount it in the rear of the rack to leave
space for other equipment.
Universal Videohub 288 contains electrostatic sensitive devices. It is essential to discharge
yourself of static electricity before handling any of these devices, just as you would when
installing devices into a computer. We recommend the use of an antistatic wrist strap when
handling any of these devices.
Installing a Universal Videohub 288 Crosspoint Card
Now that your Universal Videohub 288 has been mounted in a rack, it needs to be fitted with a
crosspoint card. The crosspoint card is the brains of Universal Videohub and performs video
route and deck control switching. Universal Videohub 288 Crosspoint cards are hot-swappable,
meaning they are designed to be installed and removed while the Universal Videohub
is running.
