LN/ACT:
This dual purpose Green LED indicates that the card has established a valid linkage to its
hub, and whether the module is sending or receiving data. This LED will be ON when the
module has established a good link to its supporting hub. This gives you a good indication
that the segment is wired correctly. The LED will BLINK when the module is sending or
receiving data. The LED will be OFF if there is no valid connection.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
To successfully install the 7880DEC-MP2HD-2:
1. Unused IP address on the network or a DHCP server.
2. Evertz serial cable.
3. VLPro Server IP address.
Before handling the card it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is
therefore recommended that an ESD strap be worn. Locate on a 7700 chassis three adjacent vacant
slots. Unpack the 7880DEC-MP2HD-2 and separate the rear panel from the main card. Locate on the
rear of the rack the three slots and remove the blanking panels. Insert the rear panel into the back of
the chassis and secure using the six screws provided.

Before inserting the front card, connect the serial cable to the board using the serial cable provided.
Now insert the 7880DEC-MP2HD-2 card into the corresponding front slots ensuring the card lines up
with the slot runners on the bottom and the top of the chassis. Push the card into the slot ensuring that
when it mates with the rear card that is has been firmly pushed into a seated position. This can be
confirmed when the connectivity lights for the Ethernet port are illuminated. Do not connect any cables
to the rear card (failure to do this could cause unwanted network issues) until the initial configuration
has been completed.
