The 500s appliance is a two-rack unit appliance that incorporates a
serviceable slide-out tray into the chassis design. The front panel of the 500s
appliance has two I/O slots that support hot-swapping operations. A PMC
carrier is provided for the I/O slots. Each PMC carrier supports two PMC
network interface cards (NICs) for a total of four NICs. These network
interfaces provide exceptional data forwarding and monitoring performance
when used with Nokia and partner applications. The front panel of the 500s
appliance also contains:
two storage device slots
two PCMCIA slots
a console port
a serial port
a four-port Ethernet management interface
The network interfaces in the external PMC slot are designated for
management, monitoring, and high-availability traffic. Partner application
and operating system storage is provided on mirrored hard disks in the two
storage device slots.
The 500s appliance is designed to meet other mid- to high-end availability
requirements, including port density for connections to redundant internal,
external, DMZ, and management networks. In addition, the 500s appliance
provides redundant power supplies, N + 1 cooling, and hot swapping from the
storage and PMC NIC slots.
