3:System Components

Each SCS3230 consists of three major components: the 3200 system chassis, 3200 DEVICE cards, and 3200 access cards. The 'access cards' include the new 3230 NETWORK/CONTROL card, which is the heart of the SCS3230 product, and makes it operate a bit differently.

Note: The 3200's NETWORK card and 10/100 Network card are NOT supported by the SCS3230 NETWORK / CONTROL card. The NETWORK/CONTROL card incorporates its own 10/100 Network port.

3.13200 Chassis

The chassis contains a front-panel LCD for quick system information that is available at all times. Two front panel buttons allow display selection and paging through displays (see section 10.0 for more information).

The second major component of the chassis is the power supply module. This module contains two independent supplies, each capable of sustaining the system should one supply fail or lose its power input. The Power Supply module also incorporates the system fan. The AC power module has two front-panel switches (one for each supply) with replaceable fuses in their IEC- type connectors. The DC power module provides a single On/Off switch.

The third and last component of the chassis is the SWITCH card set. The switch cards connect the access cards to the device cards, with a maximum of 17 simultaneous connections using all available terminal, network, and modem ports.

3.1.1 Power Supply Module

The SCS3230 may be equipped with either an AC power module or a DC power module. The power module may be field-swapped (although is not hot-swappable) if the available power source requirements change.

The Power Module provides two discrete electrical inputs to the system. Either power input supports a fully-loaded chassis, and switching between power inputs is automatic if one source fails or is turned off.

3.1.2 3200 Switch Cards

Two 3200 SWITCH Cards are required, and are unchanged from the 3200 system.
