3 Overview
3.1 About the Product
The AIMA3000 platform is Technetix’s newly developed high-density, low power consumption headend platform that enables
MSOs to build or upgrade their networks to meet the demands of today as well as future multi-services access requirements.
The AIMA3000 simplifies the transition to IP Networks by providing a complete range of intelligent, interoperable, RF and
optical modules for HFC, RFoG, PON video overlay, and other applications.
The design employs a 19” rack of 4RU height, with 17 slots for high density application modules and integrated front and
rear fibre access panel for easy fibre management. Slot 0 is used for a System Management Module (ASMM). In total, one
4RU AIMA3000 chassis allows for configurations of up to 64 forward-path laser transmitters or 64 return path receivers.
3.2 Typical Application
The AIMA3000 is designed to seamlessly fit into all common service scenarios. In a traditional headend deployment with
optical transmitters and receivers, the AIMA3000 leads with lowest in industry per-port power consumption as well as
having a highly dense amount of receiver ports. While FTTx technologies are making their way into traditional cable MSO
networks, the AIMA3000 supports a range of RFoG modules such as the RRAG to ease the transition to full-blown PON/
P2P. For networks with FTTx technologies already in place, delivering high speed data and voice services, the AIMA3000
is geared to provide a full-spectrum CATV overlay using transmitters and EDFA modules. A wide variety of complementary
modules such as externally modulated transmitters, amplifiers and switches meet the needs of even the most specialised
and unique network architectures.
3.3 Features
• 1 GHz Advanced Intelligent Multi-Service Headend Platform (AIMA3000)
• Highest density-16 single, dual, or quad application modules in one 4RU headend platform
• Ecient low power consuming modules reduces operating expenditures
• Hot-swappable application modules with auto-configuration feature through the management module
• Integrated front and rear fibre- access panel for easy fibre management
• Reliable, fully redundant, dual hot-swappable power supplies
• Intelligent management system with an integrated SNMP agent and web server (HTTP) through the front and
rear-mounted RJ45 Ethernet ports, for system-wide network management and local configuration
• HMS standards compliant
• Firmware management from centralised TFTP server (In combination with Technetix NMSE network
management software)

Installation
4.3 Equipment Inventory
On receiving the new AIMA3000, carefully unpack and examine the contents for loss or damage that may have
occurred during shipping. Refer to guarantee registration if loss or damage has occurred. The AIMA3000 should consist
of the following:
4.4 Packaging and Transportation
Keep all packing boxes and packaging of the AIMA3000 for future transport.
Use only the original packaging of the AIMA3000 when transporting. This packaging has been specifically designed to
protect the equipment.
Note:
Use the lifting handles provided when moving the chassis.
4.5 Power and Cooling Requirements
The AIMA3000 requires at least one power supply module, supplied by Technetix. One power supply module can provide
enough power to operate a chassis with all 17 slots in use. A second power supply module may be installed for redundancy.
The power supply module feeds the chassis power bus, which in turn provides power to each of the module slots.
The AIMA3000 is designed for operating between -5 °C ~ +55 °C. Fans in the power supply module and in the
separate fan module cool the chassis. These fans are monitored by the ASMM system and an alarm is raised under
certain failure conditions.
Free ambient air should be maintained around all sides of the unit. Care should be taken to ensure that the airflow around
the unit is unrestricted.
Avoid installing the AIMA3000 in dusty locations, as this can also adversely aect the unit’s reliability.
