The HDX576 Video Router ships configured to customer specifications. All physical
connections to the product use industry-standard connectors.
HDX Modules
The inspired modular approach of the HDX80 and HDX576 allows for all critical system
components including power supplies, cooling fans and pluggable optics (SFP+) to be hot-
swappable, thus minimizing business impact in the unlikely event that a component should fail.
Power Supplies
The dual redundant power supplies ensure continuous, uninterrupted power. The supplies are
current sharing which means the supplies equally share the load. If a power supply were to fail,
a single power supply can withstand the entire current load of the HDX Router system.
Although the HDX Routers functions properly with one Power Module, it is recommended that
both Modules be used, preferably connected to two independent power sources (for
redundancy). Additionally, the hot-swappable feature allows for easy replacement of a module
(in case of failure) without interrupting the HDX Routers system functionality.
Fan Tray
The HDX Routers use 3 DC fans all located conveniently in one modular fan tray. The tray is
designed to move air horizontally through the enclosure. This hot-swappable fan tray allows for
easy replacement of the module (in case of failure) without interrupting the system functionality.
Any 2 DC fans will adequately cool either system.
The Fan Tray is also equipped with an Annunciator Port for the use of alarms. The system
alarms can be configured to trigger an external control system or generate SNMP Traps.
