Switch HardwarePower Supply3-4 ARX®1000 Hardware Installation Guide• Common Internet File System (CIFS) Fast PathPower SupplyThe AC/DC power supply provides the following features and functions:• Provides 450 Watts @ +2.5 V, +3.3 V, and +12.0 V for switch operations. (Notethat the power supply draws up to 608W from the AC power cord due to itsoperating efficiency.)• Uses remote sensing to maintain stable voltage and to account for any DC loss incabling.• Provides an AC alarm to indicate when power is about to be removed from thesystem. When this alarm is activated, the power supply maintains full regulatedload for a minimum of 20 milliseconds, enabling the system to shut down powergracefully.Internal DisksThe switch uses internal disk drives to store its software image, configuration files,log files, and other maintenance-related data. The ARX®1000 contains tworedundant SATA drives, configured RAID1. These drives are connected to theprimary controller on the Application Control Module (ACM). They areField-Replaceable Units (FRUs); procedures to swap a drive appear in a later chapter.IDE Hard DriveOlder versions of the ARX®1000 hardware contain a single, non-replaceable harddisk. The disk is an Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) drive.Fan UnitThe internal fans are an environmentally-controlled cooling system. The ACM isconnected to the fan unit for temperature control and status monitoring at 60-secondintervals.
