Table 10 Supported Option Cards For The Contivity 5000 - Nortel Contivity 600 Installing

Installing and replacing option cards
The Contivity 5000 has six slots for option cards (see
These slots are connected to three separate buses:
• Slots 1 and 2 are connected to the 64-bit/100-MHz bus.
• Slots 3, 4, and 5 are connected to the 32-bit/33-MHz bus.
• Slot 6 is connected to the 64-bit/133-MHz bus.
If you install a slower (32-bit/33-MHz) card such as the 10/100 Ethernet LAN in a
slot attached to a faster bus, the speed of the whole bus is reduced to the speed of
the slower card. For example, if you install a 10/100 Ethernet LAN card in slot 1,
any card installed in slot 2 runs at 32/33, not the bus speed of 64/100.
