1.1 Unit Description

IQH3A enclosures offer industry leading, high-density delivery of modular solutions. The 3U 
rack unit accepts up to 16 modules. Single and dual PSU versions with cooling fans are 
available. RollCall control and monitoring is included as standard using a Gateway control 
card that has its own module style rear connector, thus providing a future proof upgrade path 
as communication standards evolve. Full SNMP control and monitoring functionality is also 
available over Ethernet.
