Fig. 11: Airflow
Note
Maintain a minimum clearance of 100mm around the device for air circulation.
3.4 Power source
The Ares-C640 router is powered through two swappable Power Supply Modules, labeled as PWR1 and PWR2, that
operate simultaneously. Each power module has its own AC connector. It can operate one, the other, or both at once
in power redundancy mode.
Fig. 12: Power Supply Modules
The electrical rating is printed below the power connector of each Power Supply Module.
Warning
Safety regulations require that the location where the equipment is installed must incorporate a discon-
nection device (thermal circuit breaker), that is duly approved and whose nominal current is equal to or
less than 10 A.
To avoid electric shocks, residual current circulation, and other unwanted effects that also affect communications, the
following is recommended:
Warning
All interconnected communication devices should be plugged into THE SAME GROUNDED POWER
OUTLET, which should at the same time be of good quality (lower than 10 ohms).
We recommend connecting all data devices to the same power source regardless of whether the work-
place has an uninterrupted power supply system (UPS), a regulated supply or is independent of other
power supplies (such as lighting, etc.). This will help prevent malfunctions and premature aging of the
drivers and other components.
3.4.1 Replacing the Power Supply Module
The Power Supply Module of the Ares-C640 device can be replaced if need.
Wear an anti-static wrist strap before the following operation:

3.7 Connecting the data
The Ares-C640 router has the following data connections.
3 Components and Power Supply Windbit
12 Edge Router Ares-C640

3.7.1 SFP/SFP+ connections (ETH0 to ETH3)
Four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ interfaces are available on the Ares-C640, supporting 10GBase-R, labeled as ETH0
to ETH3, for Multi-WAN service connections.
Fig. 16: WAN connectors
Note
Do not install or remove the SFP/SFP+ transceiver module with fiber-optic cables still attached to it. Do-
ing so may damage cables, cable connectors, or the optical interfaces and may interfere with the trans-
ceiver module latching properly into its socket connector. Disconnect all cables before removing or in-
stalling an SFP/SFP+ transceiver module.
Note
The SFP/SFP+ transceiver modules are static sensitive devices. Always use an ESD wrist strap or sim-
ilar individual grounding device when handling SFP/SFP+ transceiver modules or coming in contact
with modules.
Note
Be careful when removing the SFP/SFP+ transceiver module from the router. The transceiver module
temperature might go over 70ºC (160°F) and be too hot to touch with bare hands.
3.7.2 Ethernet Combo connections (ETH4 to ETH9)
Six Combo ports, Copper (RJ45) and Fiber ports (SFP), are available on the Ares-C640, labeled as ETH4 to ETH9,
for individual/dedicated LAN connections.
A combo port means that you can use either the RJ45 port or the SFP port. They are paired in two (which ports that
are paired are indicated by dots). Only one of the ports in the pair can be active at any given time. Usually, the first
port that gets a valid link will be the active one, but in some cases, you need to specifically configure whether you
want to use the RJ45 port or the SFP port.
The Copper ports support standard 3-speed, 10/100/1000Base-T protocol. The SFP port support standard
1000Base-X over single-mode or multi-mode optics.
Please pay careful attention to the labeling to avoid mixing up this switch with other port types:
Fig. 17: ETH Combo ports
Windbit 3 Components and Power Supply
Edge Router Ares-C640 13

Note
Do not install or remove the SFP transceiver module with fiber-optic cables still attached to it. Doing so
may damage cables, cable connectors, or the optical interfaces and may interfere with the transceiver
module latching properly into its socket connector. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing
an SFP transceiver module.
Note
The SFP/SFP+ transceiver modules are static sensitive devices. Always use an ESD wrist strap or sim-
ilar individual grounding device when handling SFP transceiver modules or coming in contact with mod-
ules.
Note
Be careful when removing the SFP transceiver module from the router. The transceiver module temper-
ature might go over 70ºC (160°F) and be too hot to touch with bare hands.
3.7.3 Connecting for configuration
The Ares-C640 has a RJ45 female connector on the front panel (labeled "Conf") that provides access to the device's
local console.
