HARDWARE OVERVIEW

System Platforms

The CSX5500 is a rack-mountable platform. The front panel has an air-intake grill, an auxiliary keyboard jack, and a peripheral access door, which may be latched. The activity indicators for power-on and disk activity, diskette drive, and control buttons are located behind the access door.

The back of the chassis has mountings for a RS-232 serial port, and connectors for a keyboard and monitor. The chassis has eight ISA slots for LAN and WAN adapters. However, because of power and cooling restrictions, we limit the number of usable adapter slots to five (one for a LAN adapter, and up to four for WAN adapters).

CLEANING THE CSX5500 AIR FILTER

The CSX5500 has a removable air filter. This filter is provided to ensure system cleanliness and stability in dusty operating environments. The filter is located just behind the left side of the chassis’ front panel. For best performance (and as an alternative to replacement) regularly wash the filter in warm water and a mild detergent.

Before removing the air filter for cleaning, read the following warning and caution notes.

WARNING

Before removing the air filter for cleaning, ensure that the system is powered off and the power cord is unplugged from the power source. Note that the Power ON/OFF switch does not disconnect the power from the system. Failure to unplug the power cord can result in serious injury or equipment damage.

CAUTION

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system. We recommend that you perform this procedure only at an ESD workstation. If such a workstation is unavailable, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling components.
