Module Overview
Introduction
The Ponderosa routing switcher is based upon a modular architecture of an integrated frame,
motherboard and backplane. Common input, output, and crosspoint modules are used. There are
five basic modules:
 Input Module
 Crosspoint Module
 Output Module
 Processor Module
 Power Supply Module
All modules are front extractable and “hot-swappable”. The frame is force air cooled using internal
cooling fans contained within the power supply module. Power supply modules are removable
from the front of the frame.
Note:
Although modules are “hot-swappable” it is advised that power be removed when removing or inserting
modules when possible.
