A total of eight interface circuit boards are configurable with the restricted license and a total of ten
are configurable with the unrestricted license.
PIX-1GE-66 (66 MHz) circuit boards can be installed in any slot, but should be installed in the
64-bit/66 MHz Bus first. Up to eight PIX-1GE-66 circuit boards can be installed.
The FE circuit board (33 MHz) can be installed in any bus or slot (32-bit/33 MHz or
64-bit/66 MHz). Up to eight single-port FE circuit boards or up to two four-port FE circuit boards
can be installed.
– The four-port FE circuit board should only be installed in the 32-bit/33 MHz Bus.
The numbering of the FE circuit boards in monitor mode begins at the 32-bit slots; do not
Note
install any FE circuit boards in the 64-bit slots.
Do not mix the 33 MHz circuit boards with the 66 MHz GE circuit boards on the same
64-bit/66 MHz bus (Bus 0 or Bus 1). The overall speed of the bus will be reduced by the lower speed
circuit board.
The VPN Accelerator circuit board should only be installed in the 32-bit/33 MHz Bus.
