front side is open, equipped with slots for plug-in boards with front panels. The panel
includes the main switch. In case not all GSM / UMTS cards are plugged in, the vacant
front section must be covered with a fixed panel(s).
The whole backside is covered with a panel with a built-in active fan, which is
automatically switched on whenever the power supply temperature exceeds 7. The
main power supply unit is located in front of the fan. The bottom and upper sides are
covered by perforated sheet and the assembly flanges are provided with handrails.
The system bus is designed as a printed circuit board (PCB) with DIN
connectors and fitted to the inner subrack carrier profiles.
Front Side Division
The subrack width is divided into an 8HP-wide mains panel and 19x4HP-wide
modules in the following sequence (from right to left):
VoIP version
Fixed panel with a main switch (AC type) or power connectors (DC type)
8HP
VoIP card
4HP
Basic or enhanced CPU card

The type of the power supply unit to be used depends on the part number.
Caution
Make sure that the incoming supply is matching the requested values!
High voltage may cause a serious injury or death!
Tip
You are recommended to connect the gateway to the UPS system.
