CHAPTER3 Physical Description

Fan Tray

The device provides a Fan Tray module, located on the front panel, which is concealed by a fan tray cover. The Fan Tray module contains six individual fans which cool the device's internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature inside the chassis.

The Fan Tray module draws air in from the outside through the perforated fan tray cover on the front panel (see following figure). A replaceable air filter, located inside the fan tray cover, removes dust particles from the sucked in air. The incoming air passes through the chassis, cooling the internal components and then exits the chassis through the vents on the rear panel (see following figure).

MP-1288 | Hardware Installation Manual

Figure 3-2: Airflow Directions through Chassis

When installing the chassis, make sure there is sufficient front- and rear-side clearance for proper airflow into and out of the chassis.

CHAPTER3 Physical Description

The Fan Tray provides a LED indicating the operating status of the Fan Tray module. For more information, see FAN LED on page5.

During system operation, the inner ambient temperature is continuously monitored. Upon excessive temperature conditions, an SNMP Temperature Alarm is generated (acBoardTemperatureAlarm). Upon a speed degradation or full stop of any fan, an SNMP Fan Alarm (acFanTrayAlarm) is generated.

MP-1288 | Hardware Installation Manual

Figure 3-4: Fan Tray Cover

The Fan Tray module is hot-swappable, allowing you to replace it even when the device is powered on. The Fan Tray module, fan tray cover, and air filter are available as fieldreplaceable units (FRU). For replacing the Fan Tray module, see Replacing the Fan Tray Module

on page39. For replacing the air filter, see Replacing the Air Filter on page41.

For replacing the Fan Tray module or any of its components, perform only the instructions as described in Replacing the Fan Tray Module on page39.

Rear Panel Description

The device's rear panel is shown in the following figure and described in the subsequent table.

FXS Blades

The FXS blade (referred to as Module in the device's management interfaces) provides the FXS port interfaces. Each blade provides three FXS port connectors - 50-pin Telco connector (Centronics type). Each connector provides 24 FXS interfaces and therefore, each blade provides up to 72 FXS interfaces (3 x 24 FXS). The device can be housed with up to four FXS blades thereby, supporting up to 288 FXS port interfaces (4 blades x 72 FXS). The FXS blades are available as spare parts. For replacing FXS blades, see Replacing the Fan Tray Module on

page39.

Each FXS blade provides a LED on the front and rear panel, as described in FXS LEDs on

page14.

Power Supply Module

The device can be powered from an AC or a DC power source. The type of power depends on your ordered hardware configuration.

AC Power Supply Module

For the AC- powered model, the device provides two AC Power Supply modules for load sharing and power redundancy. The power source is a standard electrical outlet providing AC power.

Power surge protection, caused for example from lightning, is also supported. For more information, see Grounding and Surge Protection on page19.

The Power Supply module is available as a spare part. The Power Supply modules are hotswappable and therefore, if only one needs to be replaced, it can be done while the device is receiving power from the working Power Supply module. For replacing Power Supply modules, see on page50.
