Logic Ground
Logic ground is used as reference for low voltage electronics and is
isolated from the chassis/shelf ground and 48 V power lines. For EMI/EMC
purposes, it might be needed to connect the logic ground and shelf ground
together.
To connect both grounds, a screw with a conductive metal washer is
installed in this location (GND) as shown in the following picture. To
disconnect, remove this screw.

Cooling Assembly
Cooling Assembly
Fan Tray
There are 2 fan tray cassettes in the system. The cooling is performed side
to side. While the fan tray is a single mechanical block, it has 2 functions:
front board cooling and RTM cooling. The front and rear blanks are
necessary for proper airflow.
The fan tray contains electronics such that it is detected as a fully PICMG
compliant IPMC by the shelf manager. It contains hot-swap circuitry,
common fusing, fan supervising, and control circuitry.
The system utilizes push pull cooling with 2 separately managed fan trays
and 4 independent cooling zones. Integrated power supplies enable using
48 V fans without any degradation in performance under 90 – 264 V.
Under normal operating conditions the shelf manager cooling algorithm
sets the fan speed to an acceptable level.
The cooling algorithm works based on temperature events coming from
FRUs. Fan speed in a particular cooling zone will be increased if any FRU in
that zone reports a temperature crossing non-critical threshold. For safety
reasons, if any FRU reports a temperature crossing critical threshold, the
fan speed in all cooling zones will be increased.

Introduction
Cooling Assembly
The following depicts the fan tray with air filter frame:
To remove the fan tray:
1. Loosen the locking mechanism and move the head to the left or right
2. Hold the head while pulling out the fan tray using the handle.
To insert the fan tray:
1. Loosen the locking mechanism and move the head to the left or right
(away from the fan tray).
(away from the fan tray).
2. Hold the head while inserting the fan tray using the handle.
3. Tighten the locking mechanism.
