VX Router Modules
The inspired modular approach of the VX40, VX80, VX160, VX320 and VX320Video/Audio Routers makes all
critical system components, including power supplies, cooling fans and pluggable optics (SFP+), hot-
swappable, thus minimizing productivity impact in case of failure or system reconfiguration.
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 VX Router system. Although the VX 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 VX Routers system functionality.
Fan Tray and Alarms
The VX Routers use 3 DC cooling fans, all located in one modular fan tray. The tray is designed to move air
horizontally through the enclosure. This hot-swappable fan tray allows easy replacement of the module without
interrupting the system functionality. Any two of the three DC fans will adequately cool the system.
The Fan Tray is also equipped with an Alarm Annunciator Port. The system alarms can be configured to trigger
an external control system or generate SNMP Traps.
