Hardware Installation
The installation of the MetroX-3 XC systems requires attention to the mechanical and power
elements of the appliance and precautions must be taken for the rack-mounted equipment.
The system platform can be rack-mounted and is designed for installation in a standard 19" rack.
The power side of the system includes a hot-swap power supply unit (PSU), space for an optional
second PSU (purchased separately) for redundancy, and replaceable fan trays. There is one possible
airflow direction. It is necessary to validate that the system airflow direction is compatible with the
system, rack, and PSUs. The rear panel of the system has the QSFP28 ports, system LEDs, and
management connection ports.
Use a rack capable of supporting the mechanical and environmental characteristics of a fully-
populated platform.
The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Take
precautions to guarantee proper ventilation in order to maintain good airflow at ambient
temperature.
