Redundant power features mean that the Fibre Channel Connectivity
Units are always available. The EC-1100 has dual AC power strips
and dual AC power inputs for redundant power distribution.
The EC-1100 contains two power switches, located in the center of the
rear door. Each switch controls AC power from one of the two power
sources to the cabinet.
The EC-1100 incorporates features that simplify cable management.
Cable hangers mounted inside the cabinet allow grouping of cables,
supporting up to 64 Fibre Channel links. Cables can be easily added,
replaced or rerouted. The structured fiber wiring system draws the
links away from the ED-1032 Directors so that directors or their
components can be added or replaced while the cabinet is on line.
The EC-1100 supports cable entry through the top of the cabinet. This
feature is for data centers that use ceiling-mounted cable trays
instead of raised floors. Figure D-1 on page D-2 shows the
dimensions of the cable openings.
