Front Components on the GigaVUE-HC3 Chassis
Module Bays There are four module bays. They are numbered from 1 to 4, starting with top left, then
bottom left; top right, then bottom right. (Refer to
Figure 1-1 .) The numbering of the module
bays also determines the priority of the modules for power management. For information
about power management, refer to
Power Management on page 55 .
Modules Figure 1-2 shows three different GigaVUE-HC3 modules. Refer to GigaVUE-HC3 Modules
on page 20 for descriptions of the modules.
Cable Management The GigaVUE-HC3 provides optional cable management. Use it to securely route cables
from ports to the left and right side of the node. Refer to
Installing Cable Management Left
and Right on page 62 for more information.
Extension Board There is an extension board installed at the front of the node. The extension board provides
a USB port, console port, a management port, a PTP port, two stack ports, a P/S port and
a PPS (IN) port, as well as status LEDs.

Rear Components on the GigaVUE-HC3 Chassis
Power Supply Modules The GigaVUE-HC3 has load sharing power supply modules (PSMs). The node ships with
two PSMs, but can be upgraded to four, thus offering 1+1 or 2+2 power redundancy. Both
AC and DC power supply modules are available.
Refer to Power Requirements on page 122 for information on power characteristics of the
GigaVUE-HC3.
Fan Tray The fan tray is installed at the rear of the node provide system cooling. The fan tray
contains five fan modules with two fans per module. Each fan module can be removed
separately from the fan tray.
Refer to Fan Tray Procedures on page 76 for more information.
Control Card The GigaVUE-HC3 includes a control card installed inside the node, accessible from the
rear of the chassis, behind the fan tray.
The control card provides switching and processing resources for the entire chassis. It also
controls the Mgmt port and console port on the front of the node for network and local
administrative access to the GigaVUE-OS command-line interface (CLI). The Mgmt port
and console port are on the extension board.
Starting in software version 5.4, Control Card version 2 (CCv2) is available.
Refer to GigaVUE-HC3 Control Cards on page 13 for more information.
