China RoHS Information

All Redback Networks products built on or after March 1, 2007 conform to the People’s Republic of China’s Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by Electronic

Information Products (Ministry of Information Industry Order #39), also known as “China RoHS.”

As required by China RoHS, the following tables summarize which of the 6 regulated substances are found in Redback Networks products and their location.

China RoHS also requires that manufacturers determine an “Environmental Protection Use Period” (EPUP), which has been defined as the term during which toxic and hazardous

substances or elements contained in electronic information products will not leak out or mutate.

Redback Networks has determined that the EPUP for this product is 25 years from the date of manufacture and indicates this period on the product and/or packaging with the logo

shown below.

The date of manufacture can be found on the product packaging label, or determined from the product serial number. The week and year of manufacture can be determined from

the 6th though 9th digits of the 14 digit product serial number, xxxxxWWYYxxxxx, where WW represents the week of the year (01 = first week of year) and YY represents the

year (07= 2007). For example, 0207 means that the unit was manufactured in the 2nd week of January 2007.

WEEE Policy

Redback Networks products are fully compliant with Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) for all applicable geographies in the European

Union. In accordance with the requirements of the WEEE Directive, Redback Networks has since August 13, 2005 labeled products placed on the market with the WEEE symbol,

a crossed-out “wheelie bin” symbol with a black rectangle underneath, as shown below.

The presence of the WEEE symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that you must not dispose of that item in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Instead, it is

your responsibility to dispose of that product by returning it to a collection point that is designated for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment waste.

Contact the reseller where the product was originally purchased and provide details of the product in question. The reseller will confirm whether the product is within the scope

of the recycling program and then arrange for shipment of the product to the designated recycling location for proper recycling/disposal.

If you are unable to locate the original reseller or need additional information, please contact Redback Networks at weee-info@redback.com. Additional information on the

System Overview

The SmartEdge 1200 router is a carrier-class product with an architecture that supports packetized traffic.

The router can be used as an edge aggregation router and simultaneously as a broadband remote access

server (BRAS) to directly connect customers to the network. It supports a variety of interfaces and vital

services, such as routing protocols, quality of service (QoS), and inbound and outbound access control lists

(ACLs). New services can easily be added with software upgrades.

Because of the optimized packet-forwarding capabilities and support of high-bandwidth uplink interfaces,

the SmartEdge 1200 router can also be used in the metropolitan core to aggregate traffic from other routers

into the long-haul transit core.

This section includes the following topics:

• Router Versions

• Specification Summary

• Traffic Card Interfaces

• Packet Mesh Architecture

• Redundancy

•Alarms

• System Status

System Overview

1-2 SmartEdge 1200 Router Hardware Guide

Router Versions

The SmartEdge 1200 router has two versions: standard and NEBS-compliant (NEBS Level 3). These two

versions are distinguished by the type of air ramp that is integrated into the chassis.

Unlike SmartEdge 800 routers, which require separate air ramps installed above and below the chassis for

directing hot air away from the chassis, the air ramp integrated into a SmartEdge 1200 chassis replaces the

air ramp that would otherwise be installed above the chassis.

Both versions of the SmartEdge 1200 router use the same chassis, but each version has a different integrated

air ramp. The NEBS-compliant router uses a NEBS-compliant air ramp; the standard version uses a

standard integrated air ramp. In all other respects, the two versions of the SmartEdge 1200 router are

identical.

Because the integrated air ramp cannot be removed from the chassis, the chassis itself is referred to as being

a NEBS-compliant chassis or a standard chassis. However, to complete the installation, when a

SmartEdge 1200 router is installed at the bottom of a rack, a removable NEBS-compliant air ramp is

required for the NEBS-compliant version of the router; a standard removable air ramp is required for the

standard version of the SmartEdge 1200 router.

Table 1-1 lists the product codes for the two types of SmartEdge 1200 chassis. The product codes identify

the type of air ramp that is integrated into the chassis.

Note In the descriptions that follow, the term, controller card, refers to any version of the

Cross-Connect Route Processor (XCRP) Controller card (XCRP, XCRP3, XCRP4), unless

otherwise noted.

The term, Gigabit Ethernet, applies to any Ethernet traffic card that supports a port speed of

1 Gbps or greater; unless explicitly stated, the speed of any Gigabit Ethernet port is 1 Gbps.

Note In the descriptions that follow, the term SmartEdge 1200 applies to either version of the router,

unless otherwise noted. The terms SmartEdge 1200n and SmartEdge 1200s refer to the

NEBS-compliant and the standard versions of the router, respectively. Throughout this guide,

figures for the SmartEdge 1200 router illustrate the SmartEdge 1200n router, unless otherwise

noted.

NEBS-compliance standards are listed in Table 3-1 in the “Agency Compliance Information”

section on page 3-2.

System Description 1-3

Specification Summary

Table 1-2 summarizes the general specifications for the SmartEdge 1200 router.

Traffic Card Interfaces

The SmartEdge 1200 router supports a wide variety of interfaces, such as:

• Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) OC-192c/STM-64c

• Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) using SONET/SDH OC-3c/STM-1c, OC-12c/STM-4c

• 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-LX, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-T, and 1000Base-ZX; and

10000Base-ER, 10000Base-LR, and 10000Base-SR

Packet Mesh Architecture

The SmartEdge 1200 router implements a grid of cross connections in its backplane that allows any traffic

card to communicate directly to any other traffic card in the chassis. The feature allows incoming packets

to be directly routed from the receiving traffic card to the traffic card that will transmit them to the network.

Each traffic card uses a combination of a Packet Mesh ASIC (PMA) and Packet Processing ASICs (PPAs)

to perform this function.

Redundancy

The architecture of the system is fully redundant for all traffic-affecting components. Redundancy features

include:

• Dual power connections, each with separate A-side and B-side power connections

• 1+1 Automatic Protection Switching (APS) protection for ATM second-generation traffic cards: 4-port

ATM OC-3c/STM-1c and Enhanced ATM OC-12c/STM-4c

Note Protection for cards and ports depends on the release of the SmartEdge OS.

Note Neither SmartEdge 1200 chassis provides support for traffic cards that require BNC

connections. For a list of traffic cards, see Table 1-5.

System Components

1-4 SmartEdge 1200 Router Hardware Guide

• Redundant controller cards and redundant file systems

• Redundant external timing sources, such as building integrated timing supply (BITS) or

synchronization supply unit (SSU), with internal timing if both sources should fail

Alarms

The SmartEdge 1200 router supports three levels of alarms—critical, major, and minor:

• A critical alarm alerts the operator to a severe, service-affecting condition. It requires immediate

corrective action, regardless of time; for example, a fire.

• A major alarm alerts the operator to a service-affecting hardware or software condition, such as a

serious disruption of service, or the malfunction or failure of important circuits. It requires immediate

corrective attention and the response of a service engineer; for example, a link failure.

• A minor alarm alerts the operator to a condition that does not have a serious affect on service or on

circuits that are not essential to network operation; for example, a carrier line problem for which

transmission has been switched to another line.

System Status

The system LEDs are located on the fan tray. These LEDs include status indicators for each of the chassis

power sources (A1, A2, B1, and B2), alarms (critical, major, and minor), fan status and ACO status, and an

alarm cutoff (ACO) button. The ACO button provides one means of silencing an audible alarm; pressing

the ACO button silences an audible alarm and lights the ACO LED; pressing the button again turns off the

ACO LED and, if the alarm condition has not been corrected, sounds the alarm.

System Components

This section describes the following system components:

• SmartEdge 1200 Chassis

• Controller Cards

•Traffic Cards

Note Protection for cards and ports is configurable on a per-port basis; a mix of protected and

unprotected ports is supported. Protection features and the types of ports that support APS

depend on the release of the software.

Note Support for the ACO button depends on the release of the SmartEdge OS.

SmartEdge 1200 Chassis

The SmartEdge 1200 chassis is designed for mounting in a standard 19- or 23-inch rack. Figure 1-1 shows

the standard SmartEdge 1200 chassis; Figure 1-2 shows the SmartEdge 1200n chassis. Main features of the

chassis include:

• Chassis Card Cage

• Chassis Cooling

• Chassis Power

Chassis Card Cage

The SmartEdge 1200 chassis has a card cage with 14 slots. Two slots are dedicated to the controller cards

and 12 slots are available for a flexible combination of traffic cards.

All cards are installed at the front of the chassis. A cable tray provides the means to route the cables from

the front of the chassis to the external equipment. The cable tray requires no adjustments regardless of the

number and types of installed cables.

The rear of the chassis has connectors for alarm outputs, status inputs, dual external timing inputs for

synchronization, and dual RS-232 ports for local connections. Cable brackets at the rear of the chassis

provide the means for routing system cables and keeping them orderly.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) jacks are conveniently located on both the front and the rear of the chassis.

Chassis Cooling

Cooling for the chassis is provided by the fan tray, which is installed directly above the card slots. Six fans

provide the needed airflow from the bottom of the chassis to the top with exhaust at the rear of the chassis.

An air filter is installed below the card cage and filters incoming air before it reaches the cards.

A single fan failure does not impact the operation of the system; however, to prevent overheating, the unit

must be replaced as soon as possible. To maintain the airflow through the chassis, empty slots must have

blank cards installed.

Chassis Power

The SmartEdge 1200 router power architecture has two power zones, each with primary and backup

sources. Primary sources are referred to as A sources; backup sources are B sources. A1 refers to the

primary power source for zone 1; B1 refers to the backup power source for zone 1. Both zones 1 and 2 must

be connected for the chassis to be operational; the connections can be any combination of A and B sources.

For a fully redundant power configuration, all four sources must be connected.

Zone 1 sources provide power to slots 1 to 7 in the chassis; zone 2 sources provide power to slots 8 to 14.

The chassis fan tray is powered from either zone.

Caution Risk of equipment damage. SmartEdge router cards can be damaged by lack of cooling when

the chassis has empty slots. To reduce the risk, every slot must have a controller, traffic, or

blank card installed in it to ensure proper airflow through the chassis.
