All configurable items in the BROADway chassis are managed through the software interface. The backplane of the BROADway chassis is keyed to prevent you from inserting a card in the incorrect slot. All BROADway control and line cards are hot-swappable, you can insert cards into systems that are either not powered, or systems that are powered.

Mounting the Chassis in a Rack

Typically, the BROADway chassis will be mounted within a rack or bay. The BROADway chassis can be installed in either a standard 19- or 23-inch rack. A mounting kit included with the chassis provides the means to support installation in both types of rack.

WARNING! WHEN INSTALLING THE CHASSIS IN A RACK, BE CAREFUL TO TRY TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF BLOCKAGE OVER THE AIR INTAKE AND EXTRACTION PANELS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT OF THE CHASSIS.

As when installing any additional equipment within an existing or planned rack environment, consider how powering the BROADway chassis will impact the overall loading of the branch circuit used at the rack. A fully loaded BROADway chassis requires approximately 160W to power the system. When installing in a rack, make sure that a reliable ground (earth) path is maintained; the BROADway chassis is intended to be connected to a good earth ground.
