Chassis: Supports 16 front-loading slots for application cards and 32 rear-loading slots for line cards. The chassis ships with blanking panels over every slot except the following: 1, 8, 17, and 24. These are intentionally left uncovered for the initial installation of system components. Mounting brackets: Supports installation in a standard 19-inch rack or telecommunications cabinet. Standard and mid-mount options are supported. In addition, each bracket contains an electro-static discharge jack for use when handling equipment. Upper fan tray: Draws air up through the chassis for cooling and ventilation and exhausts the air through the vents at the upper-rear of the chassis. Upper bezel: Covers the upper fan tray bay. Lower fan tray cover: Secures the lower fan tray assembly. The cover also provides an air baffle allowing air to enter into the chassis. Lower bezel: Covers the lower fan tray bay. Lower fan tray assembly: Draws air into the chassis through the chassis' front and sides for cooling and ventilation. It is equipped with a particulate air filter to prevent dust and debris from entering the system. Power Filter Units (PFUs): Each of the system’s two 165 amp PFUs provides -48 VDC power to the chassis and its associated cards. Each load-sharing PFU operates independently from the other to ensure maximum power feed redundancy.Important: Unpacking instructions are not provided in this document. Please refer to document 902-00-0003, Unpacking the Chassis, for information and instructions on this topic.
ESD Caution: During installation, maintenance, and/or removal, wear grounding wrist and/or heel straps to avoid ESD damage to the components. Failure to do so could result in damage to electrical components and could potentially void your warranty.
Important: Additional hardware, such as extension brackets, may be used to install the chassis in a standard 23-inch (58.42 cm) cabinet or rack.
