1.2. COOLING
The 7701FR frame is designed to ensure adequate cooling for up to 75 watts of processing power per
frame. Fans at the front and rear of the power supply module accomplish forced air cooling. Adjacent
equipment may be mounted immediately to the top and bottom of the 7701FR 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.
1.2.1. Fan Exhaust
The cooling fans for the power supply, located at the front of the frame, draws air in the front and exhaust
out the side of the frame. The cooling fan for the modules, located at the rear of the frame, and draws air
in the front and the exhaust out the rear of the frame. To ensure adequate cooling, care should be taken
to ensure that the fan inlets and exhaust openings are free of obstructions.
1.3. MOUNTING
The 7701FR Rack frame requires 1 rack unit i.e. 1.75 inches (45 mm) of standard.19 inch (483 mm) wide
rack space. To securely fasten the frame to the equipment rack, make sure that all four mounting screws
are tightened securely.
1.4. POWER
The 7701FR frame comes with an auto-ranging power supply that automatically senses the input voltage
over the range of 100 to 240 VAC. Power should be applied by connecting a 3-wire grounding type power
supply cord to the power entry module on the rear panel. The power cord should be minimum 18 AWG
wire size; type SVT marked VW-1, maximum 2.5 m in length.
The power entry modules contain a standard IEC power inlet connector, two 5 x 20 mm fuse holders and
an EMI line filter.

Revision 1.3 7701FR-3
CAUTION - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, GROUNDING OF THE
GROUND PIN OF THE MAINS PLUG MUST BE MAINTAINED
An external redundant power supply (model 7701PSX) is available to supply power in case of a failure in
the main power supply.
1.4.1. Connecting the Redundant Power Supply
The 7701PSX redundant power supply is a self-contained auto-ranging power supply that automatically
senses the input voltage. Power should be applied by connecting a 3-wire grounding type power supply
cord to the power entry module on the power supply. The power cord should be minimum 18 AWG wire
size; type SVT marked VW-1, maximum 2.5 m in length.
Connect the output of the 7701PSX to the EXT POWER connector on the rear of the 7701FR frame.
Figure 1: Locating the External Power Connector
There are two LEDs on the 7701PSX DC power connector. The Red indicator will be On when the
7701PSX is connected to the frame but is not connected to an AC input. This will cause the Red Frame
Status LED on the main power supply to be illuminated. When AC power is supplied to the 7701PSX, the
Green indicator on its DC connector will be On and the Frame Status indicator on the main power supply
will go Off unless there are other fault conditions still active. See section 2 for more information about
Frame Status fault conditions.
1.4.2. Turning the Power On and Off
The 7701PS power supply is fitted with a power switch on the front. This switch is accessible by lowering
the front panel of the frame.

1.4.3. Power Supply Status Indicators
Figure 2: 7701PS Status Indicators
The 7701PS internal power supply has two status indicator LEDs. The green PSU STATUS LED
indicates the health of the local power supply. The red FRAME STATUS LED (labeled FRAME FAULT on
some versions of the 7701PS) indicates the health of the entire frame and is operated by the frame status
buss of the frame. The FRAME STATUS LED will be Off under normal conditions and On when there are
Frame Status Fault conditions. See section 2 for more information about frame status buss fault
conditions.
If the 7701PS internal power supply malfunctions (power cord disconnected, power switch is off, fuse is
blown, etc,) when the 7701PSX external redundant power supply is connected, then its PSU STATUS
LED will go Off, and the red FRAME STATUS LED will turn On.
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. FRAME STATUS FAULT CONDITIONS
The Frame is fitted with a global Frame Status monitoring buss that is connected to the internal and
external 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 buss. When
this occurs the red FRAME STATUS LED on the 7701PS power supply (labeled FRAME FAULT on some
versions) will come on and the relay on the Frame Status Tally terminal block will activate.
The 7701PS power supply, will assert a frame status fault when its PSU STATUS LED is off. The
7701PSX external power supply will assert as frame status fault when it is not plugged in to AC power.
Each module has a large red LOCAL FAULT LED and a large green MODULE OK LED at the left side 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 determines 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 buss. On each module there is a jumper that disables sending local card fault information to
the Frame Status Buss. 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 buss if
the FRAME STATUS jumper on the module is set to the On position (default).

Table 1: Frame Status Tally Terminal Block Pin Assignments
The relay contacts can sink up to 1A and operate up to 30 VDC.
3. INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE MODULES
3.1. INSTALLING THE MODULE REAR PLATES
Each module is shipped with a matching rear panel plate which houses the connectors appropriate for the
module. When installing a rear plate, locate the desired slot position where you wish to install the rear
plate. Make a note of the slot number where you are installing the rear plate. Orient the plate so that the
labeling is visible when the plate is installed. Loosely fasten the plate to the extrusions using the mounting
screws provided, beginning with the top screw. You will tighten the screws after the main module is
installed.
3.2. OPENING AND CLOSING THE FRONT PANEL
In order to insert or remove modules you will have to open the front panel. Turn the two captive screws
located on the front panel counter clockwise several turns until they release completely from the front
extrusions. Carefully lower the front panel door so that the front edge of the door is lower than the rear of
the door.
3.3. INSTALLING THE MODULES
Orient the module horizontally such that the white card ejector is on the right. Align the card with the card
guide corresponding to the slot number where you installed the rear panel plate. Carefully slide the
module into the frame and press it completely into the rear panel connectors. Make sure that the
connectors are fully seated in the rear panel. When this is done, close the front panel and then tighten the
screws that hold the rear panel in place.
3.4. REMOVING THE MODULES
Press the card ejector to release the module. Grasp then the card using the card ejector and pull the
module out from the frame. Carefully place the module in a safe place, free from static discharge.

4. SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION – These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel
only. To reduce risk of electric shock do not perform any servicing instructions in
this section of the manual unless you are qualified to do so.
4.1. CHANGING THE FUSES
Check that the line fuse is rated for the correct value marked on the rear panel.
Never replace with a fuse of greater value.
The fuse holder is located inside the power entry module. To change the fuses, pull out the fuse holder
from the power entry module using a small screwdriver. The fuse holder contains two fuses, one for the
line and one for the neutral side of the mains connection. Pull out the blown fuse and place a fuse of the
correct value in its place. Use slo blo (time delay) 5 x 20 mm fuses rated for 250 Volts with a current
rating of 2 amps. For your convenience there are spare fuses located in the vinyl pouch in the front of this
manual. Carefully reinsert the fuse holder into the power entry module.
4.2. REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY
The 7701PS power supply is a complete assembly and includes the power supply cooling fan and one
frame cooling fan. In the event that the power supply or one of the fans malfunctions, you will need to
replace the power supply assembly with a spare one while the failed assembly is being repaired.
When you have a 7701PSX external power supply connected to the frame and connected to AC power the
7701PS power supply is hot swappable and can be easily replaced without interrupting the signal integrity
of the frame. The 7701PSX is capable of supplying full power to the frame by itself, however we
recommend running with both supplies powered for power redundancy.
The 7701PS power supply can be easily replaced from the front. The power supply is secured into the
frame by a thumbscrew on the front of the power supply (as shown in Figure 3). This screw must be
loosened before the power supply can be extracted.
To reduce risk of electric shock you must replace the mounting screw after
replacing the power supply.
