Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection



Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can

result in intermittent failure or complete damage adversely affecting an electrical circuit. When

you remove and replace any card from a frame always follow ESD-prevention procedures.

• Ensure that the frame is electrically connected to earth ground through the power cord or

any other means if available.

• Wear an ESD wrist strap ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding

clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted ESD voltages.

If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal part of the

chassis.

• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be

between 1 and 10 megohms.

• When temporarily storing a card make sure it is placed in an ESD bag.

• Cards in an earth grounded metal frame or casing do not require any special ESD

protection.

Introduction

Introduction to GV Fabric (GVF-1032-100G & GVF-516-100G models)



GV Fabric is a COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) IP switch enabling format agnostic signal

routing for small to enterprise-wide installations. Operation has been rigorously tested with

Grass Valley IP edge devices and in typical workflow scenarios, thus ensuring all the main

equipment for an “end-to-end”IP solution can now be sourced from a single leading supplier.

Its seamless integration with proven and established GV Convergent router control and Orbit

configuration and monitoring systems dramatically reduces deployment timelines, system

upgrading, fault finding and customizing workflows. GV Fabric's scalable technology means it's

equally at home in spine-and-leaf or monolithic type structures both for single or redundant

network schemes. It's non-blocking architecture exhibits zero packet loss at very low latency

and is fully compliant with PTPv2 timing protocol for device and network timing offering

alternative clock distribution schemes including transparent and boundary clock mechanisms.

Two versions of GV Fabric are available: A 1 RU full rack width 32x QSFP28 port switch and a 1

RU half-rack width 16x QSFP28 port switch providing the equivalent of up to 2048x2048 HD

(256x256 4K UHD-1) and 1024x1024 HD (128x128 4K UHD-1) signal switching capacities,

respectively. All ports are fully independent and auto-sensing supporting Ethernet speeds of

1/10/25/40/50 and 100 GbE.

Installation

System Installation and Initialization

Installation and initialization of the system require attention to the normal mechanical, power,

and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment.

The installation procedure for the system involves the following phases:

Note: The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch

racks. Take precautions to guarantee proper ventilation in order to maintain

good airflow at ambient temperature.

Note: Unless otherwise specified, Grass Valley products are designed to

work in an environmentally controlled data center with low levels of gaseous

and dust (particulate) contamination. 

The operation environment should meet severity level G1 as per ISA 71.04 for

gaseous contamination and ISO 14644-1 class 8 for cleanliness level.

FRUs' handles.

Note: The following information does not apply to GVF-516-100G. In the

GVF-516-100G systems, the fan units are non-replaceable.

Note: All servers and systems in the same rack should be planned with the

same airflow direction.

All FRU components need to have the same air flow direction. A mismatch in

the air flow will affect the heat dissipation.
