Adding New Carriers and EPN Cabinets

Add MCC Port Carriers

A new port carrier can be installed when additional features or equipment exceed
the capacity of the present system. Port carriers are identified as B, C, D, and E
except for a PPN cabinet with the duplication option. The "B" carrier is the second
control carrier. PEC 63155 provides the necessary equipment for adding the
carrier.
Add each new port carrier to a port network in the "B," "C," "D," "E" order of carrier
positions.
Before proceeding with the addition of a port carrier, ensure that at least 3
TN1650B Memory Circuit Packs exist in the system. Refer to the section entitled
''Add Memory, Replace DUPINT Circuit Pack, and Unseat Disk Drive on SPE A''

Before proceeding with the addition of a port carrier, ensure that the TN1657 Disk
Drive is of Vintage 9 (or higher). Refer to
page 2-44 for installation instructions.
