For the CoreBuilder
This guide explains how to install a CoreBuilder™ 9000 ATM Interface
Module into a CoreBuilder 9000 chassis, how to power on the system,
how to download the sytem software and how to perform an initial
configuration.
The ATM Interface Module interfaces with the ATM Switch Fabric Module
to create the Enterprise ATM Switch system. The ATM Interface Module
can be ordered in several configurations, according to your specific
needs.
A typical Interface Module configuration comprises:

An ATM Interface Carrier Module that is an unpopulated dual-subslot
dual-channel carrier module

One or two OC-3/STM-1 four-port ATM Interface daughter card(s) that
can be either single-mode or multi-mode. The OC-3/STM-1 card is also
available in 3port multi-mode one port single-mode.

One or two OC-12/STM-4 one-port ATM Interface daughter card(s)
that can be either single-mode or multi-mode
These different combinations can be ordered as pre-packaged bundles, or
the components can be ordered separately. The combination/bundle and
their corresponding part numbers are presented in appendix of the ATM
Interface Module User Guide. Table 1 shows the combinations that are
available without the part numbers.
