RGB Spectrum 860 9843 – Redundant Hot-Swappable Power Supply

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum 860 9843 is the redundant hot-swappable power supply for the MediaWall 1900, MediaWall 2900, SuperView 4100 and SuperView 4K chassis. It is the part that removes the single power supply from the list of things that can take a video wall or multiviewer offline. Because it is hot-swappable, a failed module can be replaced without shutting the processor down, which is the point of specifying redundancy in a continuously staffed room. Quote it with any new chassis destined for a control room, command centre or operations centre, and keep one on the shelf as a spare for systems already in service.

Product Description

Power redundancy on a display processor is a design decision, not an afterthought. A MediaWall 2900 driving an operations wall or a SuperView 4100 feeding a supervisory position is a single point of failure for everything on the screens behind it, and a single power supply is the most common component in that chain to fail. RGB Spectrum publishes redundant power supply provision as an option across this chassis family: the MediaWall V brochure lists "Redundant hot swappable power supply", the SuperView 4100 product page lists "Options: SinglePoint KVM, redundant power supply", and the RGB Spectrum Multiviewers brochure lists "Redundant power supply" as an option under the SuperView specifications.

The 860 9843 is the part number under which that option is ordered for the MediaWall 1900, MediaWall 2900, SuperView 4100 and SuperView 4K. Hot-swap capability is what distinguishes it operationally from a simple spare: with both supplies fitted, a module can be pulled and replaced while the processor keeps running, so the maintenance window does not have to be negotiated with an operations team. That matters in emergency operations centres and round-the-clock monitoring rooms where taking the wall dark is a reportable event.

Two of the four host chassis families also have their own factory output options, and those are the other line items that commonly appear on the same order: the DLO 2900 dual-link DVI output option for the MediaWall 2900 and the DLO 4100 dual-link DVI output option for the SuperView 4100. Routine maintenance on the same chassis family uses the 920 10104 replacement filter pack, which RGB Spectrum publishes for MW 2900, MW 1900 and SV 4100 in a two-pack. RGB Spectrum does not publish electrical ratings, dimensions, weight or MTBF for this part number, so confirm the exact module against the chassis model and revision with Creation Networks before ordering.

Key Features

• Hot-Swappable Module — A failed supply can be exchanged while the processor continues to run, so a video wall or multiviewer does not have to be taken offline for the repair.
• Four Supported Chassis Families — The part is listed for the MediaWall 1900, MediaWall 2900, SuperView 4100 and SuperView 4K, which keeps one spare part number across a mixed estate.
• Vendor-Listed Redundancy Option — RGB Spectrum publishes redundant power supply provision as an option for this chassis family, so the fitment is a supported configuration rather than a workaround.
• Continuous-Duty Protection — Fitting a second supply removes the single most common single-point failure in a continuously staffed control room.
• Stockable Spare — Holding one module on site converts a chassis-level outage into a minutes-long module exchange.
• Single Part Number for Procurement — Ordering redundancy under one part number keeps the line item traceable through a project bill of materials and an asset register.

Typical Applications

• Control Room — A redundant supply keeps the wall processor running through a power module failure during a staffed shift.
• Command Center — Hot-swap replacement means a repair does not require a scheduled outage of the display system.
• Operations Center — Round-the-clock monitoring rooms depend on processor availability that a single supply cannot guarantee.
• Emergency Operations Center — Redundancy is usually a stated requirement for display infrastructure that must work during an activation.
• Government Space — A vendor-listed redundancy option supports documented availability and maintenance requirements.
• Broadcast Studio — On-air adjacent processing benefits from a supply that can be replaced without powering the chassis down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which processors does the 860 9843 fit?
It is listed for the MediaWall 1900, MediaWall 2900, SuperView 4100 and SuperView 4K chassis. Confirm the chassis model and revision with Creation Networks before ordering, as RGB Spectrum publishes no part-numbered spares catalogue.

Can the supply be replaced without powering down the processor?
That is the purpose of the hot-swappable design. With a redundant module fitted, a failed supply is exchanged while the chassis continues to operate.

What are the electrical ratings, dimensions and weight?
RGB Spectrum does not publish electrical ratings, dimensions, weight or MTBF for this part number. Request confirmed figures from Creation Networks before a rack power schedule is finalised.

Is redundancy standard or an option on these chassis?
It is an option. The SuperView 4100 page lists "Options: SinglePoint KVM, redundant power supply", and the MediaWall V brochure lists a redundant hot swappable power supply as an option.

Should I order one or two for a new chassis?
That depends on whether the chassis ships with a supply already fitted. Confirm the as-built power configuration with Creation Networks so the redundant module count is correct.

What other options are commonly ordered with these chassis?
The DLO 2900 dual-link DVI output option for the MediaWall 2900 and the DLO 4100 dual-link DVI output option for the SuperView 4100 are the two output options in this family.

What covers routine maintenance on the same chassis?
The 920 10104 replacement filter pack is published for MW 2900, MW 1900 and SV 4100 chassis in a two-pack.

What warranty and support apply?
The RGB Spectrum manufacturer warranty applies to this part number. Creation Networks supports specification, configuration review and procurement, and can route warranty and technical support requests to RGB Spectrum.
