Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6002 Chassis Xedge 6002 Connections The Xedge 6002 chassis provides connectors for power sources, management and grounds. The following paragraphs describe how to make these connections. Note that the Xedge 6002 chassis does not support contact alarm connections. AC Power for Domestic Sites For domestic deployments (U.S.
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6002 Chassis Xedge 6002 Ground Connections A ground screw and a ground switch located on the rear of the Xedge 6002 chassis provide for the connection or separation of chassis and signal grounds as required. It is common practice to connect chassis and signal ground together (this is the default selection).
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6002 Chassis Xedge 6002 System Management Connections For local configuration and management of the switch, the RJ45 connector at the chassis front panel provides local management access via an asynchronous terminal. Table 2-3 lists the pinouts for this management port.
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6002 Chassis Xedge 6002 Maintenance Fan Filter Maintenance The Fan Filter Assembly is mounted on the left side rail of the chassis. The filter material should be checked regularly for debris and tears. Replace clogged or damaged filter as described below: 1.
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6160 Chassis Xedge 6160 Chassis Xedge 6160 is a compact, standalone 5-slot chassis available in AC and DC power versions. The AC-version of the chassis uses autoranging power supplies that automatically adapt to AC power inputs ranging from 90 to 264VAC. For detailed specifications, refer to the table below. The Xedge 6160 chassis is shipped from the factory with a door covering the front panel.
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6160 Chassis Front/Rear Panel Features The front of the Xedge 6160 chassis can hold one switch fabric module and up to four slot controller modules (slots 0 through 3). The Xedge 6160 is supplied with an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap that attaches to the front panel jack on the chassis.
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6160 Chassis Installing the Xedge 6160 The chassis may be deployed in any of the following arrangements, detailed in the paragraphs that follow. Allow adequate space around the chassis in order to install/remove modules, make cable connections and provide adequate air flow.
Page 42
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6160 Chassis Desktop Installation 1. Install four supplied adhesive-backed feet to the embossed areas on the bottom of the chassis. 2. Ensure that the chassis is not positioned directly adjacent to another chassis. This can cause warmed air to flow from one unit into the adjacent unit.
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6160 Chassis Xedge 6160 Power Supplies. WARNING Use care when removing/replacing power supplies. High voltages may be present, cre- ating an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. To comply with safety requirements, you must install a blank panel over each unused power supply slot. Note IMPORTANT! Each power supply requires a minimum load of 3A.
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6160 Chassis Xedge 6160 Connections The Xedge 6160 rear panel provides connectors for power sources, management, grounding and alarm connections. The following paragraphs describe how to make these connections. AC Power Connections The AC power source should not be under switch control. If the Xedge 6160 is connected to other equipment, it should be powered by the same AC source as that equipment to prevent large circulating currents induced by differences in ground potential.
Page 45
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6160 Chassis Also for EMC requirements, a ferrite toroid must be added to the DC input wires. The DC battery input wires (-48V, -48VRET) must be wound 6 times (6 turns) around a ferrite toroid (Fair-Rite Products Corporation P/N 2643803802 or equivalent) before the input wires connect to the +V and -V DC input terminals.
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6160 Chassis Ground Connections A shorting bar located on the rear of the chassis provide for the connection, separation, or isolation of frame and signal grounds as required (connection is the default). It is common practice to connect chassis and signal ground together (this is the default selection). Signal ground is the 0 V reference for the digital circuits contained in the chassis and the reference for unbalanced data interfaces such as EIA/TIA-232-E and RS-423.
Xedge Chassis Systems Xedge 6280 Chassis Xedge 6280 Chassis Xedge 6280 is a 7-slot chassis that allows full redundancy by employing main and standby slot-0 controllers, main and standby switch fabric, and backup power supplies.
