IXIA 400T Chassis

This chapter provides details about Ixia 400T chassis its specifications and features.

The IXIA 400T is shown in the below figure. The IXIA 400T 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 400T Chassis is specifically designed to accommodate up to 2 OC192/10GE Load Modules and up to 3 TXS8, TXS4 or SFPS4 Load Modules. It has an enhanced power supply, providing more than twice the power of the original IXIA 400T chassis. Additional cooling fans have been added to the 400T chassis to meet the requirements of the high-powered modules.

The Ixia 400T chassis must only be operated in the horizontal position as shown in the following figure.

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.



Avertissement:

Pour éviter toute blessure accidentelle de vos employés, ne laissez pas les ports SFP (ou SFP+) non utilisés des modules de charge découverts. Lorsqu'il n'y a pas d'émetteurs-récepteurs installés, les capuchons doivent être installés.

Use of Filler Panels

Proper cooling of the cards in the Ixia 400T chassis requires that the Ixia 400T 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 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 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:


  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. Mechanical Loading: Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not caused due to uneven mechanical loading.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).

Précautions relatives au montage en rack


Attention:

Si cette unité est installée dans une baie d’équipement réseau, observer les précautions suivantes:


  1. Température ambiante élevée: si installée dans un assemblage de baie fermé ou contenant plusieurs unités, la température ambiante de l’installation peut etre plus élevée que la température ambiante de la pièce. En conséquence, penser a installer l’équipement dans un environnement compatible avec la température ambiante maximale autorisée (40 C) spécifiée pour l’appareil.
  2. Circulation d’air réduite: installer l’équipement dans une baie de manière a ce que la circulation d’air requise pour faire fonctionner l’équipment en toute sécurité ne soit pas réduite. Ne pas bloquer les côtés de l’appareil, et laisser approximativement un espace de 12 pouces, de préférence 24 pouces, de chaque côté de l’unité pour une ventilation adéquate. L’espace laisse libre pour la circulation de l’air doit être de 12 pouces de chaque côté.
  3. Montage mécanique: monter l’appareil de manière a s’assurer qu’il soit droit dans la baie afin d’éviter de créer une condition dangereuse
  4. Un soin particulier doit etre apporté au branchement de l’équipement au circuit d’alimentation et aux conséquences qu’une charge excessive des circuits pourrait avoir sur le système de protection contre les surcharges et sur le cablâge d’alimentation. Prendre des précautions d’usage en prêtant attention aux normes figurant sur la plaque d’identification de l’équipement.
  5. Mise a la terre fiable: maintenir une mise a la terre fiable de l’équipement monté en baie. L’appareil doit etre vissé sur la baie afin d’assurer une mise a la terre correcte. De plus, faire particulièrement attention aux alimentations en courant autres que celles provenant de connections directes au circuit de dérivation (par exemple utilisation de prises multiples).
