1 | Chassis: Supports
16 front-loading slots for application cards and 32 rear-loading
slots for line cards. To support the XGLC, a full-height line card,
remove the half-height guide from the rear slots. The chassis ships with
blanking panels over every slot except the following: 1, 8, 17,
and 24. These are intentionally left uncovered for initial installation
of application and line cards.
|
2 | Mounting brackets: Support installation in a standard 19-inch rack or telecommunications cabinet. Flush and mid-mount options are supported. In addition, each bracket contains an electrostatic discharge jack for use when handling equipment. |
3 | Upper fan tray: Draws air through the chassis for cooling and ventilation. It then exhausts warmed air through the vents at the upper-rear of the chassis. |
4 | Upper bezel: Covers the upper fan tray bay. |
5 | Lower fan tray cover/EMI shield: Secures the lower fan tray assembly in place and serves as an EMI shield. The cover also provides an air baffle allowing air to enter into the chassis. |
6 | Lower bezel: Covers the lower fan tray bay. |
7 | Lower fan tray assembly: Draws ambient air 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. |
8 | Power Filter Units (PFUs): Each of the system’s two PFUs provides -48 VDC power to the chassis and its associated cards. Each load-sharing PFU operates independently of the other to ensure maximum power feed redundancy. |

5 | Chassis slot number 17: upper right-most line card slot. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (XGLC) is a full-height line card that takes up the upper and lower slots in the back of the chassis. Use the upper slot number only when referring to installed XGLCs. Slot numbering for other half-height lines cards is maintained: 17 to 32 and 33 to 48, regardless of the number of installed XGLCs. |
