COMPONENT OVERVIEW
NIUs are available in the following configurations:

The optical GigE cards can accept an LC fiber connector using either single mode or
multimode cable.
Mixed transceiver types are unsupported on SFP+-based NIUs; both ports are
required to be populated with identical SFP+, based on compliance testing.
Power Components
Acme Packet offers AC or DC power options for the Net-Net 6300. The power
supplies are user-replaceable, hot swappable components. There are no ON/OFF
switches on the AC or DC power supplies.
Power supplies are accessed from the rear panel of the system chassis. The right
power supply is designated as power supply A, and the left power supply is
designated as power supply B.

Redundancy
During normal operation, the Net-Net 6300 is load-balanced and draws power from
both supplies. The two power supplies also provide hardware redundancy. If a
power supply fails, the Net-Net 6300 can rely on only one functional power supply
to sustain normal operation. A malfunctioning power supply must be removed and
replaced as soon as possible. If the Net-Net 6300 starts up with only one power
supply, it will not generate an alarm.
