existing 7700 and 7800 series modules for signal processing, multiplexing, and conversion.
Six 6RU slots are also available to accommodate Evertz ATP switch fabric (primary and redundant)
which allows the routing of any signal to any destination point on the network. The combination of
these two slot formats provides a single platform to accept any Video, Audio, Data, Telco signal, format
/ process the signal as required, then output over dark fiber, TDM (e.g SONET/SDH) or IP (e.g 10Gbe)
network. The ‘IP’ version of the frame 3700FR-IP, applicable for solutions over IP/MPLS Networks is
identical to the standard frames with additional support for high density 6RU slot IPX Ethernet cross
connect and IPG Ethernet gateway modules
The combination of these two slot formats provides a single platform to accept any Video, Audio, Data,
Telco signal, and then format/process the signal as required, and output over dark fiber, TDM (e.g.
SONET/SDH) or IP (e.g. 10Gbe) network. The 3700FR Multiframe supports hot extraction of the
modules and power supplies from the front of the frame to allow optimum network availability and
serviceability.
The 3700FR frame is also equipped with 3 frame controller units used for facilitating network
communications between the frame modules and the configuration software. The main and redundant
frame controller modules (3700FC) are located under the left and right power supply units, when
looking directly at the front of the frame. In addition, a 7700FC frame controller resides in slot 1 of the
3RU section of the frame. The 7700FC provides control and monitoring for any of the 7700/7800
series modules installed in the frame.
The 3700FR is available two power supply configurations. The standard 3700FR and 3700Fr-IP
frames are powered by auto sensing AC power supplies. The 3700FR-48VDC and 3700FR-IP-48VDC
frames are powered by 48VDC power supplies. Each frame can accommodate up to 2 hot-swappable
power supply units (3000PS-HF or 3000PS-48VDC).
The 3700FR Multiframe series provides a universal platform, for Video, Audio, Data and Telco signal
transport over Telco and IP networks. Its 16, 3RU slots accommodate Evertz’s 779x family of

2. INSTALLATION
2.1. ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
All semiconductor devices are sensitive to ESD. To prevent any damage or
degradation on components of the product caused by ESD, observe these
precautions when installing or removing modules from the frame.
1. Discharge static from your body. Wear a grounded anti-static wrist or heel strap, to discharge the
static voltage from your body.
2. Use a Safe Work Area. Avoid handling modules in areas that have a floor or work surface covering
capable of generating a static charge. Also, nothing capable of generating or holding a static
charge should be allowed in the work area.
3. Handle ESD sensitive modules carefully. Do not slide modules over any surface. Do not touch
exposed connector pins. Pick up modules by the edges of the modules, never by touching exposed
leads.
4. Transport and store sensitive components or assemblies in a static-protected bag or container.
2.2. INSTALLING AND REMOVING MODULES
The standard 3700FR series frames and the 3700R-IP series frames are identical except for the rear
panel. The standard frame, shown in Figure 2-1 allows you to use any of the standard 6RU modules
as well as all of the 77xx/78xx series modules. The IP frame, shown in Figure 2-1 allows you to use
the high density 6RU modules such as the 3080IPX, as well as all of the 77xx/78xx series modules.
The high density modules will not fit into the standard frame because of the metal bars between the
6RU slots.

CAUTION – INSTALLATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD ONLY BE DONE
BY QUALIFIED PERONNEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS IN
THIS MANUAL.
2.3.1. Cooling
The 3700FR frame is designed to ensure adequate cooling for up to 650 watts of processing power
per frame. Fans at the front and rear of each power supply module accomplish forced air-cooling.
Adjacent equipment may be mounted immediately to the top and bottom of the frame. Additional
module cooling is provided by interior cooling channels to ensure that even fully loaded frames
mounted adjacent to each other will operate within the normal temperature range.
CAUTION: For proper cooling, the frame must contain either two 3000PS
power supplies, or one 3000PS power supply and one 3000PS-FM power
supply blank panel with cooling fan.
2.3.2. Fan Exhaust
The cooling fans for the power supplies (3700FR and 7800FR), located at the front of the frame, draw
air in the front and exhaust out the sides of the frame. The cooling fans for the modules, located at the
rear of the frame, draw air in the front and the exhaust out the rear of the frame.
CAUTION: To ensure adequate cooling, care should be taken to ensure that
the fan inlets and exhaust openings are free of obstructions. Normal
operation of the frame requires the front door to be closed.
2.3.3. Mounting
The 3700FR frame is equipped with rack mounting rails and fits into a standard 19” x 10.5” x 14.5”
rack space (483 mm x 260 mm x 368 mm). To securely fasten the frame to the equipment rack,
make sure that all four mounting screws on each mounting rail are tightened securely.
After the unit has been installed in a rack, all cards in the frame should be checked to ensure
they are fully seated within the frame. This is best accomplished by simply pushing (simultaneously,
with moderate force) on each card’s top and bottom insertion/extraction levers (where applicable). See
section 2.2.3 for further information. This step should be repeated any time the frame is shipped, or

conditions and On when there are Frame Status Fault conditions. See section 2.5 for more information
about the frame status buss fault conditions.
If one of the power supplies malfunctions, (power cord disconnected, power switch is off, fuse is blown,
rear fan is stopped, etc,) then its PSU STATUS LED will go Off, and the red FRAME STATUS LED on
both power supplies will turn On. The PSU STATUS LED on the power supply that is functioning will
remain On. If the frame is connected to VistaLINK®then the power supply fault will send a trap
message from the frame.
If there is a fuse failure, contact Evertz customer service regarding the
power supply immediately. The power supplies are short circuit protected
and should not blow the fuse under a short circuit condition.
2.5. FRAME STATUS FAULT CONDITIONS
The Frame is fitted with a global Frame Status monitoring bus that is connected to each of the power
supplies and to each of the modules. When a fault condition occurs on one of the power supplies, or
one of the modules, a Frame Status Fault condition is active on the frame status bus. When this
occurs, the red FRAME STATUS LED on the power supply will come on and the relay on the Frame
Status Tally terminal block will activate.
Power supplies, will assert a frame status fault when their PSU STATUS LED is off.
Each module has a large red LOCAL FAULT LED and a large green MODULE OK LED at the top of
the card edge. This green LED indicates good module health while the red LED indicates that there is
a fault condition on the module. Each module has its own criteria that determine when the red fault
LED comes on. When the red LOCAL FAULT LED is On the module can also assert a fault condition
on the Frame Status bus. On each module there is a jumper that disables sending local card fault
information to the Frame Status Bus. For more information about fault conditions on individual
modules, and for the location of the Frame Status Jumper on the module consult the individual chapter
for the module. For example, if a module requires video or audio for its functionality and the video or
audio is not present, the red LOCAL FAULT LED on the module will be On and the fault will be
reported on the frame status bus if the FRAME STATUS jumper on the module is set to the On
position (default).
2.5.1. Frame Status Tally Terminal Block
There is a green FRAME STATUS terminal block at the left rear of the frame that has a normally open
and normally closed relay contact that can be used to indicate frame status fault conditions to external
equipment. There are 4 connections, as shown in Table 2-1 below.
