Hardware Description Chassis Overview Chassis Overview The MV-825-RTR is a 2RU 19” rack-mount chassis with connectors at the rear (see Figure 2- Front view Rear view Fig. 2-1: MV-825-RTR Unit Views The chassis is air-cooled and the airflow is front-to-back. The unit has a door at the front with a grille and integral cooling fans.
MV-825-RTR Multiviewer with Integrated Router User Manual Chassis Front The front door has two knurled fastening screws and a grille, behind which are fitted four fans which draw air in at the front, see Figure 2-2. Knurled door fasteners Fig. 2-2: MV-825-RTR Front View, Door Closed With the front door open, some inner card status LEDs are visible: However, there is normally no reason to open the front door.
Hardware Description To Close the Front Door To Close the Front Door Before closing the door: 1 Check that the fan supply wires are all connected to the front edge of the MV-825-RTR main card. See Figure 2-4 Fig. 2-4: Fan Supply Wires Connected to front of the Main Card To close the door: 2 Pull the door upwards into a vertical position (the door hinges along its bottom edge) and then push it fully into the front of the chassis.
MV-825-RTR Multiviewer with Integrated Router User Manual Front Indicators There are no external front indicators. Internally, with the front door open and dropped down, the front edge of the front main module can be seen in the top half of the chassis frame. This is the MV-825-RTR main card, see Figure 2-5.
