JF231A HPE MSR50-60 Router, 6 FIC Slots, 4U

JF231A is the HPE MSR50-60 router, a modular LAN/WAN chassis with 6 FIC module slots in a 4U enclosure that mounts in an EIA standard 19-inch rack. One 350W AC power supply is included. The MSR50 Series is designed for large branch offices, regional offices and enterprise deployments that need converged routing, switching, wireless, security and voice.

The chassis needs at least one Main Processing Unit and at least one Multi Service Module. The processor choices are the MSR50 Processor Module (JD653A, with 4 SIC module slots) and the MSR50 G2 Processor Module (JD429B, with no SIC slots). Each comes with 512MB of SDRAM and a 256MB compact flash card.

JF231A takes up to three power supplies: the 350W AC supply it includes plus up to two more. Only one MSR50 AC power supply (JD650A) and only one AC PoE power supply (JD652A) can be added, and JD652A is not supported with the G2 processor module JD429B. The DC-powered chassis is JF640A, which uses the MSR50-60 DC power supply (JF443A). The opacity shield kit JG584A is supported on JF231A.

Processor 1 is RISC at 1700 MHz with 1 GB DDR SDRAM and 256 MB compact flash, and processor 2 is RISC at 833 MHz with 512 MB DDR SDRAM and 256 MB compact flash. Routing and switching capacity is 3 Gbps with throughput up to 1280 Kpps for 64-byte packets, and the routing table holds 100000 IPv4 and 100000 IPv6 entries.

The chassis measures 17.17 x 16.69 x 6.89 in (43.6 x 42.4 x 17.5 cm) and weighs 44.09 lb (20 kg). Maximum power rating is 350 W, PoE power is 500 W and maximum heat dissipation is 1194 BTU/hr. More switches and routers are in HPE switches.
