1. Power Supplies
The OG-X-FR frame can accommodate two front-loaded power supplies.
However, each frame comes standard with one power supply (the power supply
on the left in Figure 3.2). Although a single power supply can fully power a loaded
frame, the addition of a second (optional) power supply gives the frame full
power redundancy. Each power supply is fed by a separate power cord, which is
held in position to guard against accidental power loss.
2. GFC-8322
The GFC-8322 comes pre-installed in the designated slot immediately to the
right of PS1, and is secured with a metal retaining latch. Its primary function is to
distribute the reference signals to openGear cards installed in the frame. Refer to
the section
"GFC-8322 Overview" on page 20
for more information.
3. Card Slots
There are a total of 20 card slots in the OG-X-FR chassis and are used to install
openGear cards into the chassis. Depending on the card model and rear module
you are using, multiple slots may be required. Refer to the user guide for your
openGear card for installation details for your card.
4. Controller Card
There are two models of Controller Card: MFC-8322-S and the MFC-OG3-N. The
Controller Card comes pre-installed in the OG-X-FR frame. You must have the
MFC-OG3-N installed in the OG-X-FR frame to take advantage of the Gigabit
ethernet connectivity available for openGear cards in the frame. Refer to the
MFC-OG3-N User Guide for more information.
5. Mounted Fans (not shown)
The OG-X-FR frames were designed with front-door mounted fans to provide
forced air cooling for all cards, and additional cooling for the power supplies. An
intelligent fan controller adjusts fan speed with changes in frame power loading.
Particular attention has been paid to frame acoustics in order to keep fan noise to
a minimum.
