installed in any of the universal slots.

Slot 6
Slot 9
• 7, 8, 9 are restricted. Backplane access to NMS is not supported on
Slot 10
these slots, meaning they may be used for all DACs and AUX except
where they are to be used to transport NMS. This restriction will only
apply to DAC 155oM and AUX (Other DACs do not support an NMS
transport option).
• DAC 155oM and AUX must only be installed in slots 1 to 6 where
NMS access is required.
• 10 is for NPC only.
• NCC and FAN slots are dedicated.
• For protected operation RAC or RAC/DAC155oM pairings must be
in slots 1 and 4, and/or 2 and 5, and/or 3 and 6.
• Universal plug-ins are identified with their slot number. For example, a DAC
plugged into slot 3 would be identified in the Plug-in screens as DAC 3
• NCC and FAN are identified with a slot letter; C and F respectively.
