Unit Description
NCC
Node Control Card
The NCC is a mandatory plug-in for each INU/INUe. It performs key node
management and control functions, and provides various dc rails from the
-48 Vdc input. It also incorporates a plug-in flash card, which holds node
configuration and license data.
FAN
Fan Card
One FAN must be fitted in an INU or two in an INUe to provide cooling,
except that from March/April 2007 a single 2RU FAN will replace 1RU FANs
in an INUe. Each FAN is fitted with two long-life axial fans plus monitoring
and control circuits.
