Ross Ultrix Carbonite Installation And Cabling Manual

Ultrix 5RU Frame
NOTICE Adequate ventilation within a rack
frame must be maintained. Ensure side to side
ventilation is not compromised. Refer to the
Ultrix Installation Guide for more information.
Notes:
• The Ultrix 5RU and 2RU frames support multiple Carbonite
switcher platforms at once.
• The switcher uses the Reference input to Ultrix for timing.
• All power supplies must be connected to operate the switcher.
• The input and output BNCs on the SDPE blade are mapped to
physical inputs and outputs 19-22 on the switcher.
• Physical sources and destinations on the router must be mapped
internally to inputs and outputs on the switcher.
• The Ultrix SDI I/O blade is used to provide sources and
destinations that the switcher can access.
• The REF B connection is not supported at this time.
• A 1GbE ethernet connection is required for Ultrix.
• An Ultricool may be required, depending on your installation.
• The Ultra 5RU frame can support up to 4 SDPE blades and the
2RU can support up to 2 SDPE blades.

CAUTION! Electrical shock hazard. The Power connector (PWR) must
always be disconnected when the SDPE blade is not installed in the frame.
Notes:
• The switcher is made up of a single SDPE blade. Each SDPE blade provides an independent Carbonite switcher.
• The number of SDPE blades a system can have depends on the size of the Ultrix frame and the other blades that
are installed.
• Each SDPE blade is independent of the others. If you upgrade one to a different version of software, that upgrade
is not pushed to the other SDPE blades.
• There should be a 1-slot gap between SDPE blades in either ther 5RU or 2RU router to ensure proper cooling. An
I/O blade can be installed in that gap, but two SDPE blades should not be installed next to each other.
• The GPI and Tally ports on each SDPE blade are independent of each other.

Installation and Cabling

Power and Cabling
Read the instruction manual for your Ultripower and Ultrix FR5 or Ultrix FR2 before
starting work or operating equipment.
Flex Slot
NOTICE The Ultrix frame and SDPE blades do not have power switches. Ensure that
the Ultripower is not connected to mains power before connecting the power cables
Slot 1
from the Ultripower to the other components. If the Ultripower is energized as you
Slot 2
connect the power cables to the Ultrix and SDPE, the system could start to power up
before it has enough power to operate and could damage the equipment.
