Page 13: Unpacking
Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber clothing. Always exercise proper grounding Susceptibility precautions when working on circuit boards and related equipment. -
Page 14: Installing The Frame
Installing the Frame The frame frame mounts in the rack frame by means of four rack screws fastened through the front mounting flanges. This should normally be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight of accompanying cables. However, in certain applications such as mobile truck installations, it may be desirable to also support the rear of the frame. -
Page 15: Fault Reporting
Note In case of a power supply failure, contact your openGear dealer. The PS-8300 is a power factor corrected supply, capable of working with all world AC standards (100-240V). The supply has an indicator LED on the front, and an error detection circuit that will indicate the conditions described in Table 1. -
Page 16: Cable Connections
For reliable performance, it is recommended that the frame door not be opened for longer than 5 minutes when using the Cooling Fan Module option on frames loaded with more than 40 Watt. Notice Without Fan Kit: Fan Kit Installed: 8310-C Max. -
Page 17: Rear I/O Modules
Each AC connector includes a Powerlock, which is designed to retain the power cable connector. Clip the Powerlock over the shoulder of the inserted AC cable end. Note — In some countries, it may be necessary to supply the correct mains supply cord. Use only an approved IEC 320 C-13 type A/C line cord rated for a minimum 10A at 250V and Warning certified for the country of use. - Page 18 Rear I/O Module Installation If you are installing an openGear card in a 8310-C-BNC or 8310-BNC frame, skip this section. If you received a custom rear I/O module for your openGear card, you will need to install the I/O module in your 8310 frame before you can connect cables. Use the following procedure to install the DFR-RM-82xx in the 8310 digital distribution frame: Ensure that the frame is properly installed according to instructions in the section “Installing the Frame”...
- Page 19 openBUS Connector This RJ45 connector is used to exchange information data from cards installed in the 8310 frame to an external monitoring/control system. Only cards having the openBUS interface will be able to be monitored and controlled this way. This is reserved for future use with openGear products.

Page 37: Rear Support Bars And Brackets
Rear Support Bars and Brackets Under normal conditions, mounting the frame to the front of the rack with four rack screws should be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight of accompanying cables. The optional FSB-8310 Rear Support Bars and Brackets are specifically engineered to compensate for extra load stress associated with certain applications, such as mobile truck installations, to also support the rear of the frame. - Page 38 8321 20-Slot Frame Setup In This Chapter This chapter provides information on setting up and using the 8321 series frame. The 8321 is a 2RU modular frame, designed to accommodate up to 20 openGear cards and support up to 10 high-density openGear fiber cards.
- Page 39 Rear Modules for the 8321 Series Frames If your 8321 series frame was ordered with cards requiring Full Rear Modules or Split Rear Modules, the appropriate modules are installed at the factory or included with the cards. Blank Rear Modules (R2-BLANK) are installed when the slot does not have an openGear card installed.
- Page 40 Split Rear Module This module features two card connectors and can include up to 10 BNCs, or a combination of BNC, AES, and fiber optic connectors. Each card connector is routed to a column of five BNCs. This module can only be used in a 8321 series frame. A Split Rear Module occupies two slots in the frame but provides connectors for two openGear cards.
- Page 41 Cooling Features The 8321 series frames come standard with the Cooling Fan Module installed as original equipment from the factory. However, if you need to replace the ventilation in a 8321 series frame door, the optional CFM-8321 Cooling Fan Module is available as a field installation kit.
