26 ARGO Digital Broadcast IP Production Console
Impulse Processing Core
CORE DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING
Argo uses the Impulse processing
core which is a 5U 19' rack mount
enclosure designed for installation in
standard 19' equipment bays.
Airflow
The core is cooled by fan assisted
convection. Air is drawn in from the front
into each of the modules except for the
PSU's that use a large heat sink.
The DSP module has two 80mm fans
mounted on its front panel, the Control
Processor Module and each of the four
Router modules have two 40mm fans one
mounted in the front panel and one in the
bottom of the module blowing upwards.
This fan arrangement pulls air through the
module frame which then exits through
vents across the top and rear of the core.
All fans are speed monitored and System
Status error message are generated
for any failures. To ensure air can flow
through the card frame freely, the air
vents at the rear of the core should be left
clear and unobstructed. No clearance
is required above or below the core for
cooling.
Support
The weight at the rear of the core should
be adequately supported to prevent
stress on the front racking angles. This is
particularly important when the units are
mounted in mobile installations. Calrec
will not accept liability for damage caused
by insufficient support.
Connections
All connections, including power are made
to the front of the core which is recessed
from the racking angles to allow cable
clearance within the bay.
