DGS-6608 Hardware Composition

The DGS-6608 hardware consists of a chassis, management card, line cards, power system and a fan system.

Chassis

The DGS-6608 uses a standard 19-inch chassis. The chassis consists of the system module layer, fan layer, and
power layer.
The layer that handles system modules consists of a module plug-in frame, which is used for connecting the
various DGS-6608 modules.
The built-in power shelf is located at the top of the chassis.
The fan tray is located on the right-hand side of the chassis. The fan tray consists of Sixteen fans. The dimension
of each fan is 80x80x20mm.

Module Plug-in Frame

The module plug-in frame of the DGS-6608 consists of the module slots and the backplane.
The DGS-6608 supports eight module slots. The slots 4 and 5 of the Switch can only be used for the control
management module. The other six slots can be used to connect to various line cards. All the modules supported
by the DGS-6608 are of the same height, width and depth. The dimensions of each module are a height of
42mm, a width of 388mm, and a depth of 422mm. The modules of the DGS-6608 are inserted into the Switch
horizontally. The backplane of the DGS-6608 is used to interconnect the control management card and the line
cards that have been installed in the Switch.
The main functions of the DGS-6608 backplane are listed below:
• Providing a mechanism for transmitting various signals between the modules and providing channels
for high-speed communication.
• Acting as a passive backplane.
• Automatically identifying the type of line card that has been installed in each slot.
• Managing the load distribution among the installed power supplies.
When the slots of the DGS-6608 are fully populated, the modules of the DGS-6608 will have the following layout:
• Two control management module.
• Six line card modules to meet the network requirements.
The slot number used for the Control Management module is 4 and 5. Slots 1-3 to 6-8 are used for line card
modules.
