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. This helps to ensure proper frame cooling and ventilation.

Full Rear Module

The Full Rear Modules features a single card connector and can include up to 10 BNCs, or a combination of BNC, AES, and fiber optic connectors. Each module occupies two slots in the frame and the openGear card must be installed in an even slot number, such as slot 2 or 4. Up to 10 cards can be installed using this rear module type.
