Mounting
You can install the ATTO FC Rack System with ATTO product modules facing the front or the back using the
Air flow and cooling
The FC Rack System cooling fans are contained within the power module. Each power module contains two
modules. Ambient air near the inlets should not exceed 40° C.
WARNING Do not block the vents on either side of the main enclosure. Blocking the vents may cause overheating and could damage the product.
Internal power distribution
The ATTO FC Rack System provides a redundant power scheme with two hot swappable power supply modules. Each power supply module feeds 12V to the backplane. From there the power is distributed to the FibreCenter 3400 modules and the fans.
A failure of one power supply will not affect the functionality of the modules or the cooling system since the second supply will continue to supply power to the backplane. In a redundant power supply installation, one supply can be removed and replaced without affecting the rest of the system in any way.
The product module will detect power supply failures, voltage regulation and failover.
NOTE: Power modules will load balance when two are present in the ATTO FC Rack System
The power module is a hot swappable unit that contains enough power to supply two ATTO product modules and four cooling fans. Each is designed to slide into the ATTO FC Rack System enclosure in either of the two bays on the end of the rack enclosure that is closer to the backplane and farther away from the cooling vents in the sides of the rack enclosure.
