Chapter 12: IXIA 400T v2 Chassis
This chapter provides details about Ixia 400 chassisits specifications and features.
The IXIA 400 is shown in the following figure. The IXIA 400 chassis has 4 slots for Ixia Load Modules, but may also be used to support the high-powered load modules, including all OC192 and 10GE modules. The IXIA 400 Chassis is specifically designed to accommodate up to 2 OC192/10GE Load Modules and up to 3 TXS8, TXS4 or SFPS4 Load Modules.
Note: The Ixia 400T v2 must only be operated in the horizontal position as shown in the following figure.Figure 12-1. Ixia 400T v2 Chassis - Front View

Warning: In order to prevent accidental injury to personnel, do not leave unused SFP (or SFP+) ports on load modules uncovered. When transceivers are not installed, end caps must be used. For details, see Use End Caps on Open Ports on page 1-xxxvii.Specifications
400T v2 Chassis
The computer specifications are contained in the following table.
Use of Filler Panels
Proper cooling of the cards in the Ixia 400T v2 requires that the Ixia 400T v2 chassis is always mounted in a horizontal position and that the filler panels are installed in the unused slots. High powered cards available for use in the Ixia 400T v2 chassis include all variants of the OC192 load modules, all variants of the 10GE load modules, and all variants of the ALM1000T8. Refer to Installing Filler Panels on page 10-5 for instructions on the installation of filler panels.
Rack Mount Cautions
Caution: If this unit is installed in a Rack Mount, observe the following precautions:
- Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment that is compatible with the maximum allowable ambient temperature specified for the chassis (40° C).
- Reduced Air Flow: Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not reduced.
Do not block the back or sides of the chassis, and leave approximately two inches of space around the unit for proper ventilation.- Mechanical Loading: Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not caused due to uneven mechanical loading.
- Circuit Overloading: Consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Pay attention to equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
- Reliable Earthing: Maintain reliable earthing (grounding) of rack-mounted equipment. Pay special attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).
