FIGURE 2 - CORE SPECIFICATIONS
The Apollo processing core is an 8U
19' rack mount enclosure designed for
installation in standard 19' equipment
bays.
Airflow
The core is cooled by fan assisted
convection. Air is drawn in from the front
into the cable-tray and up through the
base of the card frame. Fans mounted
in the top of the core pull air through the
card frame which then exits through vents
across the top of the rear of the core. All
fans are speed monitored and System
Status error message are generated
for any failures. To ensure air can flow
through the card frame freely, the air vents
at the rear of the core should be left clear
and unobstructed. Also, the cable-tray
should not be overfilled, leaving space
at the base of the card-frame by using
the cable-tidy clips in the cable tray. No
clearance is required above or below the
core for cooling.
AcousticNoise
A fully populated core has been measured
to produce <40dB acoustic noise
(A-weighted at 1 metre from front).
Support
The weight at the rear of the core should
be adequately supported to prevent
stress on the front racking angles. This is
particularly important when the units are
mounted in mobile installations. Calrec
will not accept liability for damage caused
by insufficient support.
Connections
All connections, including power are made
to the front of the core which is recessed
from the racking angles to allow cable
clearance within the bay.
A cable tray in the base of the core allows
for cables to be routed from the rear of
the bay to the front of the core.
Cable tidy clips in the cable tray keep
cables at the base ensuring airflow into
the cardframe is not restricted.
When routing cables through the
cable tray and up to front panel
connectors, observe the minimum
bend radii recommended by the cable
manufacturers. This is especially
important for fibres and high speed data
conductors.
Take care also to 'dress' cables neatly so
that they cause minimal restriction to the
air flow.
Please refer to the Hydra2 installation
manual for detail regarding specific router
connections.
