6040 Components
3Com 6000 Routers include 3Com 6040, and 6080. These models are similar in
chassis structure and layout. They use the mid-backplane allowing front and rear
card insertion and can be mounted in 19-inch standard racks.
The 6040 has five slots on the front panel, using slot 0 for the main control unit
and slots 1 through 4 for FICs.
Two PSUs, working in 1+1 backup mode, can be installed in 6040 from the rear of
the chassis. The PSUs provide AC power. The fan module is located at the left rear.
Both PSU and fan module are hot swappable.
