System Description
The Matrix X16‐C design provides 20 slots to seat 16 Input/Output Modules (IOM), two Fabric Modules (FM), and two Control Modules (CM).
The Matrix X16‐C supports:
•Terabit switching capacity
•Hot swapping of modules
•Redundant power and cooling systems
•Installation in a standard 19‐inch (48.26‐centimeter) wide rack. You can load two chassis into a standard 7‐foot (213.36‐centimeter) high rack
•Protective earth grounding requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) UL 60950 and IEC 60950 standards
•Telcordia GR‐1089 Section 9, Bonding and Grounding Requirements, when required
All chassis components (power supplies, fan tray, and modules) are installed from the front of the chassis for ease of maintenance. All LED indicators are observable from the front of the chassis to aid in monitoring network operational status and performing maintenance. Figure 1‐1 illustrates the Matrix X16‐C chassis (front view) as shipped from the factory with coverplates removed from all slots labeled 1 including CM1, FM1, PS1, the first IOM and fan tray slots. Figure 1‐2 illustrates the rear of the chassis showing AC power inlets 1 through 4 and earth grounding holes.
