The N215 node has a modular structure. The node front
(see Figure 1) houses the following: Power Supply Units PSU1 and PSU2 convert the mains or
battery input voltages to appropriate voltages for the node

If no redundant power supply is provided, the empty posi-

The input power plug is located on the front of the power
supplies (see Figure 3). The high-voltage power supply has
a standard mains input power plug, whereas the low volt-
age power supply has a Phoenix Contact
(www.phoenixcontact.com) input power socket, type PC4/3-
STF-7,62; the mating connector to be used on the cable is
housing KGG-PC4/3-F with plug PC4/3-ST-7,62.
2.3 Network Card
The BORA network card (FB-52432-1A) with separate
TRMs, or the BORA150/BORA600 (S30824-Q80-
X/S30824-Q87-X) or BORA2500 (S30824-Q92-X) with
integrated TRMs, interfaces between the data on the dual
ring and the interface cards in the node itself, and takes
care of start-up, synchronisation and redundancy.
A BORA network card with separate TRMs must still be
used when you need SDH transceivers (e.g. STR150L).
These SDH transceivers are only available for a BORA
network card, not for a BORA150/BORA600 network card.

and high quality audio/video transmission.

Each interface card is described in a separate document,

the title and number of which are indicated in the documen-

All interface cards can be placed and programmed in the

HS/LS slot as well as in the LS slot. For the correct pro-

decreases to 50 °C (122 °F). Refer to Figure 4 for the front

panel view of the fan module.

The fans are temperature controlled: if the temperature

inside the node is lower than 20 °C (68 °F) then the fans
are switched off, if the temperature is between 20 °C
(68 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F) the fans run at reduced speed, Figure 4 Fan Front Panel View
and above 50 °C (122 °F) the fans run at full speed.

The air inlet at the front and at the back of the N215, and
the air outlet at the back should not be blocked!
