Chapter 1—Overview

Option 11C and Option 11C Mini fiber expansion

This chapter provides an overview of the available fiber-optic expansion
options for Option 11C and Option 11C Mini systems.
Both the Option 11C and Option 11C Mini systems support fiber-optic
expansion. To expand your system, you require the following three basic
components in addition to other hardware:
• Small System Controller (SSC) card
• Fiber Expansion daughterboard
• Fiber Receiver card
Note: For a complete list of required hardware, refer to "Chapter
2—Hardware required for fiber expansion" on page 21.
Small System Controller card
You must install an SSC card, containing Fiber Expansion daughterboards, in
slot 0 of the Option 11C Main cabinet or the Option 11C Mini Primary Main
Chassis.
Fiber Expansion daughterboards
You must install Fiber Expansion daughterboards on the SSC card. The SSC
(NTDK20CA or later) card supports two daughterboards. The daughterboard
configurations supported are as follows:
• two single-port daughterboards
• two dual-port daughterboards
• one dual-port daughterboard in the top connector and one single-port in
the bottom connector.
