10-slot openGear™ Frame

openGear™ frames are designed with an advanced cooling architecture that includes front-door mounted fans to provide forced air cooling for all cards and additional cooling for the power supplies. The intelligent fan controller adjusts fan speed with changes in frame power loading or temperature. Particular attention has been paid to frame acoustics to minimize fan noise.

Two buffered looping reference inputs are distributed to all card slots. A frame-mounted Ethernet port allows an MFC-8310-C network controller card to be added without occupying a module slot.

The frame can accommodate two front-loaded power supplies. Although a single supply can fully power a loaded frame, the addition of a second (optional) supply gives the frame full power redundancy. Each supply is fed by a separate power cord with a PowerLock cord retainer to guard against accidental power loss. Each power supply contains an independent cooling fan, status LED and a front-mounted power switch. One PS-8300 power supply is standard with each openGear™ frame.
