Mechanical Overview
The following sections contain a brief overview of the devices that you will be interacting with
along with the associated hardware. The intent is to give you a working knowledge of how the
system operates under normal circumstances so that you will be able to recognize it when
something goes wrong.
4.1
COM360 Chassis
Figure 2 below shows the faceplate of the COM360 chassis.
The AC input connection shown at the bottom left provides power to the COM360 chassis.
The two Gigabit Ethernet ports on the right of the power cord allow for direct connections to other
devices such as an ATSC-8, external media, edge QAM, Ethernet switch, management PC and
allows any additional chassis in the system to be interconnected.
Along the sides of each card is a ventilation grate, which, combined with the exhaust fans in the
back, allow air to flow over the internal system.
The majority of the face shows the 6 available card slots, each corresponding to a unique Slot ID,
capable of supporting 6 individual cards.
