SmartEdge 1200 Chassis
The SmartEdge 1200 chassis is designed for mounting in a standard 19- or 23-inch rack. Figure 1-1 shows
the standard SmartEdge 1200 chassis; Figure 1-2 shows the SmartEdge 1200n chassis. Main features of the
chassis include:
• Chassis Card Cage
• Chassis Cooling
• Chassis Power
Chassis Card Cage
The SmartEdge 1200 chassis has a card cage with 14 slots. Two slots are dedicated to the controller cards
and 12 slots are available for a flexible combination of traffic cards.
All cards are installed at the front of the chassis. A cable tray provides the means to route the cables from
the front of the chassis to the external equipment. The cable tray requires no adjustments regardless of the
number and types of installed cables.
The rear of the chassis has connectors for alarm outputs, status inputs, dual external timing inputs for
synchronization, and dual RS-232 ports for local connections. Cable brackets at the rear of the chassis
provide the means for routing system cables and keeping them orderly.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) jacks are conveniently located on both the front and the rear of the chassis.
