  • The chassis has a front-to-rear airflow.
  • Four internal fans pull cool air into the front of the chassis and blow it over the internal parts to maintain the system at a safe temperature.
  • The fans are located at the rear of the chassis.
Power

Campus Gateway ships with redundant power supply units, either AC or DC, depending on the customer’s preference.

The Power Entry Module (PEM) supplies backup power to the system, and the Campus Gateway can operate continuously with just one PEM installed. You can replace a PEM without turning off the system. All PEM connections and replacements are done from the back of the chassis. The main power switch is also located near the PEMs at the rear of the chassis.

Power supply condition

Green (OK) LED status

Amber (fail) LED status

No AC power to all power supplies

Off

Off

Power supply failure (includes over voltage, over current, over temperature, and fan failure)

Off

Red for power supply failure

Amber for fan failure

Power supply warning events in which the power supply continues to operate (high temperature, high power, and slow fan)

Off

1 Hz blinking

Note: Redundancy is supported with the same power supply types.
