Overview
Each CTP2 card provides System Services Processor (SSP) and Embedded Port
(EP) subsystems. The SSP subsystem runs director applications, communicates
with director ports, and controls the RS-232 maintenance port and 10/100 Mbps
ethernet port. The EP subsystem provides Class F processing, and manages frame
transmission to and from the Serial Crossbar Assembly (SBAR). In addition,
CTP2 cards provide non-volatile memory for storing firmware director
configuration information, persistent operating parameters, and memory dump
files. Director firmware is upgraded concurrently (without disrupting operation).
Each card faceplate contains a green light emitting diode (LED) that turns O
the card is operational and active, and an amber LED that turns O
fails. The LEDs are O
beaconing is enabled.
Front Bezel
The bezel at the front of the Director includes two indicator LEDs. The green
power LED turns O
turns O
power distribution failure is indicated.
The amber system error LED turns O
requiring immediate operator attention, such as an FRU failure. The LED remains
illuminated as long as an event is active. The LED F
enabled.
Cable Management Assembly
The cable management assembly positioned at the front of the director provides
routing for Ethernet cables attached to CTP2 cards and fiber-optic cables attached
to director ports. The assembly rotates up to provide front access to the redundant
power supplies.
The cable management assembly is supplied with rack-mount kits for the
HP 9000, HP 10000, and HP 11000 Series racks only
Power Supplies
The Director 2/64 uses redundant, load-sharing power supplies which step down
and rectify facility input power to provide 48-VDC power to Director FRUs. The
power supplies also provide over-voltage and over-current protection. Either
power supply can be replaced while the switch is powered on and operational.
Each power supply has a separate backplane connection to allow for different AC
power sources.
