NORTEL DS1402001 ETHERNET ROUTING SWITCH 8010

The Accelar 8000 chassis features a passive switching architecture that is designed to provide high availability for the wide range of supported technologies. Up to three load-sharing and load-balancing power supplies can be installed, with a fully loaded chassis able to operate with any two power supplies present, providing N+1 power redundancy. All power supplies can be hot-swapped. Both AC and DC power supplies are available, allowing the chassis to be deployed in both enterprise and service provider networks. Fan-trays (dual in the 10-slot chassis) are provided for cooling, and include hot-swap capability. The chassis provides system monitoring and automated reporting of component failure for power supplies, fans, system modules and interface modules. Accelar 8000 supports distributed switching and management, eliminating single points of failure and providing total system resilience.
