Installation Overview
All Xedge Slot Controllers and Switch Fabric plug into front slots of an Xedge switch chassis. This
modular design and packaging allows a wide variety of Xedge switch node configurations. Front
panel LEDs provide monitoring of system status.
various Xedge chassis systems. Before beginning an installation, read this section in its entirety to
become familiar with the major components in your Xedge switch.
This chapter describes hardware characteristics, setup and installation of the following Xedge
modules in the chassis.
•
Adaptation Controllers (CE, VSM)
•
Cell Controllers (ETH, ACP, ACS, ECC)
•
Switch Fabric Modules (XM, XS, XH)
Installing Other Xedge Modules
•
See Chapter 4, V7.x Packet Controllers to set up/install PCX, PCL, PCE or ISG2.
•
See Chapter 5, Line Interface Modules to set up/install Xedge LIMs
•
See Chapter 6, Network Timing Modules to setup/install the NTM-DS1 or NTM-E1.
•
See Chapter 7, System Management Modules to set up/install the SMM in a 6160/6280 chassis.
•
An Xedge 6640 or 6645 system will require the System Termination module (STM), when
there are four or fewer controllers installed. The STM can only be installed in the Slot-0
Standby position. There are no front panel indicators, and no user-selectable switches or
jumpers.
Note
Be aware that the SMM can only be installed in a dedicated slot at the rear of the Xedge 6160/Xedge 6280
chassis. Otherwise, damage to the SMM or the chassis midplane connectors will occur.
Note
As of Xedge Version 6.2 and later, the following legacy modules are not supported: SMC, SCE, VE, ISG(1),
MPG2V, QEDOC, ATM NIC, VJLIM, VJH320, J2, DS1-2C, DS1-4C, E1-2C, E1-4C, DX21 and DX27.
