4Mechanical Overview
STATUS
Required (Optional)
Note: Some features are noted as optional in the enclosure drawing figure below. These features may be use in some chassis designs where only top access is allowed for the cage mounting.
The ERP2U is a power sub-system made up of a cage and redundant, hot swappable power supply modules. A mechanical drawing of the cage is shown below in Figure 1. This cage is intended to be mounted in the system and not redundant or hot swappable. The exterior face of the cage accepts hot swappable power supply modules. The cage distributes output power from the modules to a wire harness. Cooling fans may be located in the modules or cage. If the cooling fans are located in the cage, they may optionally be redundant. If the cage has redundant cooling the cage depth may be extended to allow for the additional series fan. A recommended power supply module solution is the SSI TPS power supply. Refer to www.ssiforum.org for the latest TPS Design Guide. The cage may have IEC inlet connector(s) and EMI filtering to distribute AC power to the power supply modules or the AC may plug directly into the modules. Three different configurations of the power sub-system are also shown below in Figure 1.
Optional mounting features for top access mounting of the power supply.
