The FSX 1600 Acoustic Noise-Reduced (ANR) chassis is an enhanced version of the FSX 1600 chassis. Part
numbers for the FSX 1600-ANR chassis and bundles begin with
FI-SX-1600-ANR-
xxx...
NOTE:
Except where explicitly noted throughout this manual, the FSX 1600 and FSX 1600-ANR chassis are
collectively referred to as the FSX 1600 chassis.
NOTE:
The FSX 1600-ANR chassis is available through new orders beginning with software release FSX
04.3.00. If you want to upgrade your existing FSX 1600 to an FSX 1600-ANR chassis, you must ship it to to
Foundry Networks, where an ANR kit will be installed, then the chassis will be shipped back to you. For more
information, contact Foundry Networks.
Compared to the FSX 1600, the FSX 1600-ANR has improved, redirected airflow, better thermal dissipation, and
reduced acoustic noise. The front of the FSX 1600-ANR chassis is identical to the FSX 1600 and both chassis
use the same switch fabric, management and interface modules, and power supplies. Figure 2.7 shows the front
of the chassis, including a partial view of the ANR kit, which is behind the chassis.

FSX 1600-ANR Chassis Front
The back of the FSX 1600-ANR chassis differs from the FSX 1600 chassis in that the FSX 1600-ANR has an extra
sheet metal assembly (ANR kit) and different fan modules. The ANR kit protrudes from the rear of the chassis,
making the depth of the FSX 1600-ANR chassis four inches longer than the FSX 1600 chassis. Figure 2.8 shows
a side-by-side comparison of the FSX 1600 and the FSX 1600-ANR.
