Port-Side View of the Device

The following figure shows the port-side view of the X7 Director with installed blades identified. Note that the SX6 extension blade is not shown in the following figure, but would install in the same slots as the FC32-X7-48 or FC64-48 port blades. A maximum of four SX6 blades is supported.

  1. Front Air Vent
  2. Control Processor Blades (CPX7) – Slot 1 (left), Slot 2 (right)
  3. Port Blades (FC64-48 or FC32-X7-48)
  4. Core Routing Blades (CR64-4)
  5. Side Air Vent
Note: When nonport-side exhaust (NPE) fan and power supply assemblies are installed, air flows through the side vent and exhausts to the nonport side. When nonport-side intake (NPI) fan and power supply assemblies are installed, air flows from the nonport-side and exhausts through the side vent. When installing the chassis in a four-post rack with the airflow diversion rack mount kit, airflow is redirected to or from the port side of the chassis. Therefore, if NPE fan and power supply assemblies are installed, air flows into port-side air vents and exhausts to the nonport side. If NPI fan and power supply assemblies are installed, air flows into nonport-side air vents and exhausts through to the port-side.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to lift or support the chassis by the logo bezel attached over the port-side air vents.
Note: Be careful to not push on the mesh screen covering the side air vent or poke it with sharp objects.
