Auxiliary Module (PX-AUX)
The Auxiliary Module (
PX-AUX)
provides connectivity between MI/Backplane (PX-BP-28/PX-BP-15) and
the Front Fan modules. The PX-AUX module is plugged into a card slot, in the very center of the frame.
The PX-AUX module contains fuses and Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes for over-current and
Transient Voltage protection respectively. Besides these components the PX-AUX is passive.
The module connects power and communication signals from the IP3 MI/backplane to the Front Fan
Modules. It connects 24VDC, 5VDC power and a one-wire interface signal to the two Front Fan Modules.
In case of a 15 RU, the module uses the top fan card connections only.

WARNING
