Table 14 Supported Option Cards For The Nortel Vpn Router 5000 - Nortel Contivity 2600 Install Manual

The 1000BASE-T (1000 MT), 1000BASE-SX, and VPN Router Security
Accelerator cards are high-speed cards; most other option cards are low-speed
(32-bit/33-MHz) cards. To maximize system performance, reserve slots 1, 2, and
6 for high-speed cards, and install low-speed cards in slots 3, 4, and 5. (The SSL
VPN Module 1000 must be installed in slot 1.)
If you install a slower (32-bit/33-MHz) card in a slot attached to a faster bus, the
speed of the whole bus is reduced to the width and speed of the slower card. For
example, if you install a 1000BASE-T (1000 GT) Ethernet interface card in slot 1,
a 1000BASE-T (1000 MT) card installed in slot 2 runs at 32-bit/33-MHz.
