4.4 Grinding Vial Sizes, Adapters, and Vial Openers.

Large vials (6801, 6871) are run one at a time in the 6870 Freezer/Mill, without any adapter. Large vials are opened by the 6804 Extractor/Vial Opener, which is part of the 6870L Accessory Package.

Mid-Size vials (6881, 6883, 6885) are run one at a time, but the 6886 Mid-Size Adapter must be placed in the coil first, to center and align any Mid-Size vial. Mid-Size vials can be opened by the 6804 Extractor/Vial Opener, but only by installing the 6884 Mid-Size Vial Adapter for the 6804. The 6884 and 6886 Adapters comprise the 6870M Accessory Package.

Most Small vials (6751, 6761, 6771) can be run one, two, three, or four at a time in the 6870 Freezer/Mill. However, they must be used in conjunction with the 6806 Multi-Vial Adapter, an X-shaped insert for the coil. The 6806 Adapter keeps the vials parallel to each other and the coil, so each impactor moves back and forth in line with the magnetic field. Also, if a small vial were to be positioned diagonally inside the coil, the gate could not be properly tightened against the vial, and an end plug might work its way out of the vial during grinding. When running Small vials, make sure the coil gate contacts the end plug of every vial. If the gate needs adjustment to do this, the bottom or pivot end of the gate can be moved toward or away from the coil housing by turning the gate clockwise or counterclockwise on its mounting bolt.

Unlike other Small vials, the 6753 Microvial Set is run one at a time with the 6806 Adapter. Each 6753 set includes three 6753V Microvials. If more than one 6753 Microvial Set is placed in a 6870 Freezer/Mill, some of the individual Microvials will be shielded from the magnetic field, and grinding in those vials can be ineffective.

6870 specifications

The Allied Telesis 6870 is a robust Layer 3 Ethernet switch designed for high-performance networking in enterprise environments. Incorporating advanced features and technologies, it serves as a vital component in managing complex network infrastructures, ensuring seamless connectivity, reliability, and enhanced performance.

One of the standout characteristics of the 6870 is its support for a high number of Gigabit Ethernet ports. With multiple SFP and SFP+ ports, the switch allows for flexibility in connecting various devices, while also facilitating the use of different physical media. This capability is crucial for organizations that demand versatile connection options, particularly when managing diverse networking equipment.

The switch is equipped with advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, allowing it to perform IP routing functions in addition to standard Ethernet switching. Suitable for traffic management, the switch supports protocols such as OSPF, RIP, and static routing, enabling efficient and intelligent path selection in larger networks. This functionality is essential for optimizing bandwidth usage and maintaining an efficient data flow throughout the network.

Another highlight of the Allied Telesis 6870 is its support for VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). VLANs enable network segmentation, improving security and performance by isolating different segments of traffic. This capability is further enhanced by the switch's support for advanced features like Ingress/Egress Rate Limiting and Quality of Service (QoS). These features allow network administrators to prioritize critical applications and ensure that bandwidth is allocated effectively.

The switch also incorporates the innovative Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework (AMF), which simplifies device management and network configuration. With AMF, administrators can manage multiple switches as a single logical entity, reducing operational complexity and minimizing downtime. This technology supports zero-touch provisioning, enabling rapid deployment and configuration of network devices.

Security is another key aspect of the 6870, with features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) and IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication. These measures help protect the network from unauthorized access and ensure that only authenticated devices can connect to the network.

In summary, the Allied Telesis 6870 is a versatile and powerful switch that meets the demands of modern enterprise networks. With its comprehensive feature set, including high-performance routing, VLAN support, and advanced management capabilities, it offers a reliable solution for organizations seeking to optimize their network infrastructure. Whether for deploying new services or managing existing traffic, the 6870 stands out as a formidable choice for network administrators.
