Chapter 9: Optixia XL10 Chassis

---

This chapter provides details about Optixia XL10 chassis—its specifications and features.

Optixia XL10 is a highly modular design intended for long-term continuous use and ease of maintenance. The modular design allows for the replacement of load modules and power supplies without the need to take the chassis offline. The number and position of load modules may similarly be changed without taking the chassis offline. All of the critical components of an Optixia XL10 chassis may be removed without removing the chassis from its rack mount. Upgrades to the power supply and processing components are also possible through simple module interchange while the Optixia XL10 remains rack mounted.

The chassis supports 240 ports of 10/100/1000Mbps modes.

The Optixia XL10 chassis has 10 slots for Optixia XL10 Load Modules. The Optixia XL10 power is organized with two separate AC inputs which in turn feed 1-4 1200W power supplies. To use Optixia XL10 in a minimal power configuration, power supplies number 1 and 2 are installed for use with up to 5 blades. Power supplies number 3 and 4 are installed for use with all 10 blades.

Note: In the event of indications of inadequate power, remove load modules starting from the low-number slots (slot 1, 2, 3), then working upward toward slot 10 until the problem is solved.

Caution: This equipment is intended to be installed and maintained by Service Personnel.

The Optixia XL10 is shown in Figure 9-1 on page 9-2.

Warning: 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.

The modules that are supported on the Optixia XL10 are listed in Table 9-2..

Table 9-2. Optixia XL10 Supported Modules

Module	SFF - Requires Adapter	Function

Hot-Swap Procedure

Each Optixia XL10 chassis provides the ability of removing and reinstalling a Load Module without requiring the removal of power from the rest of the chassis. The process of removing/installing a Load Module does not impact either the operation of the OS or load modules installed in the chassis.

The hot-swap procedure is detailed in Appendix D, Hot-Swap Procedure.

Installing Filler Panels

The airflow in an Optixia XL10 chassis can be inefficient if a load module is installed in one slot and the other is left open. For best cooling results, filler panels are required. Filler panels must be used in situations where the slots in the chassis are not all in use.

An empty Optixia XL10 chassis includes:

7 ea. 1 slot wide XL10 Filler Panel/Air Baffle units (p/n 652-0517)

Prerequisites for Filler Panel Installation:

The technician should use industry-standard grounding techniques, such as wrist and ankle grounding straps, to prevent damage to electronic components on any Ixia Load Modules.

Filler Panel Installation Procedure:

ESD Caution: Use industry-standard grounding techniques to prevent Electrostatic Damage to the delicate electronic components on the Ixia Load Modules.

Example: Slide the one-slot filler panel, with the Ixia logo at the top, into the correct slot. The panel slides in on the slot rails in the chassis. Secure the faceplate of the filler panel to the chassis with two of the supplied screws.

Caution: Use extreme care to prevent damage to delicate electronic components on an adjacent load module. Not using baffles could cause random failures in port operations or damage installed modules.

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).
Replacement of the power supply cord must be conducted by a Service Person. The same type cord and plug configuration shall be utilized.
