CSX7000 9T HE CSX7000The CSX7000 ChassisT HE CSX7000 C HASSISThe CSX7000 is a self-contained 16 slot rack-mount unit with a passive segmentable backplane. Itcan support multiple system groups using multiple processor modules. It is capable of runningcompletely independent applications within the same chassis. An internal, multiplexed bus systemallows all processor modules within the chassis to share a single flexible disk, monitor, andkeyboard.The CSX7000 is built with heavy industrial material and includes a cooling system which canaccommodate the full chassis. The two redundant integral power supplies provide high availabilityprocessing. You can hot swap each supply without affecting the CSX7000’s functions. You canpower on or off individual groups, which allows you to maintain a selected group while othergroups in the chassis remain operational.The CSX7000 contains a slide rail assembly to allow for its mounting in a 19 inch RETMA rack orcabinet. (Refer to chassis dimensions and rack/cabinet recommendations.) You can create a cluster ofCSX7000s by stacking multiple chassis and connecting them with a chassis-to chassis daisy chainbus. (See following illustration.)PROCESSOR M ODULECabletron offers two different processor modules for the CSX7000: the CSXPRO-8 and theCSXPRO-32. These Pentium single-board CPUs are self-contained computers that includeprocessor, memory, and I/O. The amount of RAM and the speed of the processor differentiate theavailable CPUs:• CSXPRO7-8 sufficient for most remote access applications• CSXPRO7-32 for densely-populated PRI configurationsENVIRONMENTAL MODULEFor each cluster of connected CSX7000s, an optional Environmental Management System (EMS)module manages the intelligent environmental sensors located throughout the cluster. Thesesensors monitor system status, including CPU operation, voltages, fuses, temperature and fans.The EMS module can monitor and control up to 31 CSX7000s connected as a single cluster. The EMSmodule can also be configured as an SNMP agent for management of the environmental sensorsthrough a remote SNMP manager.I NTERFACE M ODULESThe CSX7000 supports multiple interface modules. These interface modules combine with aprocessor module to form a system group. The interface modules can include:• Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) Interface (single port or two port)• ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI)• ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI)• digital modem (DM-8, DM-24, DM-24+, DM-30+)• dedicated line connectivity through RS232 and V.35• Frame Relay and X.25 supportFor detailed information on these and other features of the CSX7000, refer to the User’s Guide.
