Introduction
This chapter introduces the 5C105 MATRIX E5 chassis and provides information about how to
obtain additional support from Enterasys Networks.
1.1 OVERVIEW
The Enterasys Networks 5C105 chassis design provides five 2.4-inch slots that can contain a
variety of interface modules. The 5C105 is 19-inch rack mountable chassis that supports redundant
power supplies and LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs. All chassis components (power supplies, fan
tray, and modules) are installed from the front of the chassis for ease of maintenance. All LED
indicators are observable from the front of the chassis to aid in monitoring network operational
status and performing maintenance. Figure 1-1 illustrates the 5C105 equipped with redundant
power supplies.
Important Notice
Depending on the firmware version used in the 5C105 MATRIX E5, some features described in
this document may not be supported. Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the 5C105
MATRIX E5 to determine which features are supported.

Features
1-2 Introduction
Figure 1-1 The 5C105 Chassis with Redundant Power Supplies
1.2 FEATURES
Redundant Power Supply Modules
The 5C105 supports two power supply modules which reside in the slots labeled PS1 and PS2.
Each power supply module supports an ac input connector that allows each power supply to be
connected to a separate ac power source. In addition, the power supply modules are capable of load
sharing 50% (+/- 5%) of the total load presented by the 5C105. If one of the power supply modules
fails, the other power supply module supplies the entire load for the chassis without interruption to
network traffic.
CAUTION: If the 5C105 is configured with a single power supply module it must be
located in slot PS1.

Features
Introduction 1-3
Power Supply LANVIEW LEDs
Each power supply module comes equipped with LEDs for at-a-glance diagnostics that indicate
individual power supply status and overall chassis redundancy status. Refer to Chapter 2,
Installation Requirements and Specifications, for a full explanation of the power supply LEDs
and their definitions.
Power Supply Status Via Local Management
The 5C105 power supply modules report information to the modules installed in the chassis
regarding the present operating status. This information includes the following:
•Power Supply ID (PS1, PS2)
•Power Supply Status (normal/fault/not installed)
•Power Supply Redundancy Indication (redundant/not available)
•Fan Tray Status (normal/fault/not installed)
Refer to the module specific User’s Guide for instructions on how to access power supply status
information via Local Management.
Auto-Ranging Power Supplies
The 5C105 power supply modules automatically adjust to the input voltage and frequency. No
additional adjustments are necessary.
Hot Swapping
To reduce network downtime, the power supply modules are also hot swappable. This allows for
the removal of one power supply without powering down the chassis and interrupting network
traffic.
The 5C105 Cooling System
The 5C105 features a removable fan tray that is accessible from the front of the unit. This unit is
hot swappable, which allows it to be replaced without powering down the chassis. The fan tray has
one LANVIEW LED located on the front of the unit. This LED indicates the status of the fan tray
(normal or fault). Refer to Chapter 2 for a full description of fan tray LED states and their
definitions.
Rack Mountable Chassis
The 5C105 can be mounted into a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) equipment rack. The 5C105 chassis
has rackmount brackets built into the chassis for ease of installation.
