3.1.4 3U Frame Layout
Figure 3: 3U Frame - Layout
The 3U Pyxis frame has four horizontal slots for signal modules.
It also has two slots for power supplies, the frame can run from one but the second provides
redundancy in case of power supply failure.
Above the PSU’s are two slots for controllers, the unit only needs one ‘MASTER’ or ‘ACTIVE’
controller the other slot is for a ‘SLAVE’ or ‘IDLE’ controller there to provide redundancy if the active
controller fails.
Access to PSU2 or Slot 4 requires the door to be removed.
3.1.5 Fitting and removing the frame door
To remove the door from the frame, open it to approximately 30
and lift upwards. The design of the hinge
assembly prevents the door from being removed if it is at a greater angle.
