Provisioning 2 x 10G MDA and 4 x T1/E1 CES MDA on 7210 SAS-M
For 7210 SAS-M devices currently deployed or new deployments, to insert 2*10 MDA perform
the following steps:
1. Configure the BOF parameter "use-expansion-card-type" to m2-xfp. This provisions the
2. Configure the BOF parameter "no-service-ports", if using a 7210 SAS-M 24F 2XFP and
3. Re-boot the device.
4. The above steps are required for first-time use of 2 x 10G MDA or when changing the
In 7210 devices using 2 x 10G MDA, to insert CES MDA perform the following steps:
1. Configure the BOF parameter "use-expansion-card-type" to m4-ds1-ces. This will
2. Configure the BOF parameter "no-service-ports" to default, if using a 7210 SAS-M 24F
3. Re-boot the device.
4. The above steps are required when changing the MDA type in use. It is not needed, if a
NOTE: Insertion and removal of the CES MDA at any point of time into the system is supported,
if the BOF parameter configuration is set to default.

Guide
The device rejects the insertion of a CES card if the slot is provisioned for a 2* 10G MDA
and vice versa.
If a 2*10G MDA provisioned, it ensures that the BOF parameter "no-service-ports" is
configured to specify two ethernet ports.
Only on 7210 SAS-M 24F variant, the no-service-ports BOF parameter is not available for
use.
Change of value assigned to 'use-expansion-card-type' BOF parameter, requires a reboot
so that a different MDA type can be used.
