System Components Figure 1-2 NEBS-Compliant SmartEdge 1200n Chassis Chassis Cooling Cooling for the chassis is provided by the fan tray, which is installed directly above the card slots. Six fans provide the needed airflow from the bottom of the chassis to the top with exhaust at the rear of the chassis. An air filter is installed below the card cage and filters incoming air before it reaches the cards.
System Components Controller Cards A controller card manages the system; it is responsible for the packet routing protocols, the SmartEdge OS command-line interface (CLI), and communications with a network management system running the NetOp™ Element Management System (EMS) software. The controller card also loads all configuration information necessary for the traffic cards.
System Components Controller Card Features and Functions A controller card has these features and functions: • Processors The XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards have two processors. One processor runs low-level software, including device drivers and equipment management software; the second processor runs the routing and broadband remote access server (BRAS) software.
Page 24
System Components The time-of-day clock (TDC) for a SmartEdge router is implemented in software. When a system with an XCRP3 or XCRP4 Controller card is powered on, the RTC sets the TDC; otherwise, the TDC is undefined until it is configured and set using the SmartEdge OS. The TDC can be maintained by synchronization with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Page 25
System Components • Two types of operations ports for system management access—Craft and Ethernet: — The XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards have two Craft ports, labeled “CRAFT 1” and “CRAFT 2”; the XCRP4 Controller card has a single Craft port, labeled “CRAFT”. Each port has a DB-9 connector and provides an RS-232 connection to a local console terminal, a terminal server, or a modem.
