Connect power
The AXIS Q7900 has two On/Off switches. Please ensure that the correct AC power cord for your
country is used.
Note also the following requirements and restrictions:
To prevent the risk of electrical shock when in contact with the unit casing, only earthed/
grounded power cords should be used to power the AXIS Q7900.
Protection against overcurrents, short circuits and earth faults should be provided in the build-
ing installation.
The AXIS Q7900 is intended for indoor use only, and only for TN and IT power systems.
If a foreign object is accidently dropped into the Video encoder Rack, always disconnect power
before attempting to remove the object.
To turn off power to the AXIS Q7900, both power supplies must be turned off.
Axis video encoder blades
S/N - (serial number) is identical to the unit’s MAC/Ethernet address,
e.g. 00408C1A2B3C = 00-40-8C-1A-2B-3C.
P/N - is the product’s model number.
Bus Connector - This is the physical interface to the I/O terminal connector on the rack.
DIP Switches - Each video input has a corresponding line termination DIP switch. Axis video
encoder blades are supplied with the line termination enabled for each input; i.e. with the DIP
switches set to ON (down position).
To connect the video encoder in parallel with other equipment, disable the input termination by
setting the corresponding DIP switch to OFF (up position). Failure to do so may affect the image
quality negatively.
For detailed hardware information about a particular Axis video encoder blade, please refer to its
installation guide.
Mounting Axis video encoder blades
The AXIS Q7900 can accommodate 14 Axis video encoder blades. The slots for these are numbered
1-14 from left to right. See Hardware overview, on page 6.
There are four slot groups in the AXIS Q7900: 1-4, 5-7, 8-10 and 11-14. If a slot group is to be
used, the first slot in the slot group must be occupied. So if the first slot group is to be used, there
must be a blade in slot 1. If slots 5 through 7 are to be used, there must be blade in slot 5 etc..
For example, if you have three blades and want to put them into the first group of slots 1-4, one of
the three blades must occupy slot 1. The other two blades could occupy either slot 2, 3 or 4. Or if
three slot groups were to be used, the first blade could occupy slot 1 or 5, the second blade could
occupy slot 5 or 8, and the third blade could occupy slot 8 or 11.
AXIS Q7900 Installation Guide Page 9
ENGLISH
Follow these steps to mount an Axis video encoder blade in the AXIS Q7900:
1. If there is a a front panel cover, remove it from the slot in to which the video encoder will be
mounted. This is done by unfastening the screw at the top and bottom of the cover.
2. Slide the video encoder into place, using the guides as an aid. Make sure that video channel (1)
is at the bottom of the blade when it is inserted into the AXIS Q7900.
3. Fix the video encoder in place, using the screws from the front panel cover.
Note:
Front panel covers should be used on all empty slots.

Network Connector - Axis video encoder blades are designed for 10/100/1000 Mbps networks and
connect via the standard RJ-45 connector.
Network Connector Switch - The Network Connector Switch controls which blades are connected
to a particular network connector. The following table shows how the blades are connected based
on how the switches are set. These settings are only made during power up.
Rack ID - Sets a rack ID for all blades in the rack. Possible ID 0 to 15. The Blade ID, will correspond
to the slot number.
RS-485 Connector - Usually used for connecting Pan Tilt Zoom devices. See page 11 below for pin
assignment information.
I/O Power Connector(s) - 12VDC 100mA out. This connector could be used to supply power to
external units connected to the I/O port.
I/O Terminal Connector(s) - Provides the physical interface for up to 12 I/Os. See page 12 below
for pin assignment information.
