Support for 8260 ATM Media Modules

Certain 8260 ATM media modules can be installed in slots 1, 3, 5, and 7 of the

8265. Refer to page 71 for a list of supported modules.

The 8265's cooling subsystem protects the switch, installed modules, and

configuration information, from damage or loss that could result from a

heat-related failure of the switch or a module.

Figure 2 shows the rear view of the 8265.

The Control Point and Switch (CPSW) module works with the Controller module to

protect network integrity using power management. The CPSW module manages

power usage in the switch, allowing you to prioritize how modules power off (when

there is insufficient power available), and preventing newly-installed modules from

receiving power when there is no power available.

There is, in addition, a function that allows you to implement fault tolerant power.

This allows the switch to reserve some of its power capacity to protect against a

power supply failure.

Interface options on both the front panel and the backplane of the 8265 allow you

to connect a greater number of external segments than you could connect using

conventional internetworking hardware.
