Installation Overview
All Xedge Packet Slot Controllers 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.
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
Pacxket Slot Controller in the chassis.
•
Xedge IP Services Gateway (ISG2)
•
Xedge Packet Cell Switch (PCX and PCX-2)
•
Xedge Packet Cell Link (PCL)
•
Xedge Packet Circuit Emulator (PCE)
Note
In this chapter, infomation on the PCX also applies to the PCX-2 except where noted.
Installing Other Xedge Modules
•
See Chapter 3, Switch Fabric and V6.2 Controllers to set up/install cell or adaptation modules.
•
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.
•
Refer to Chapter 1, Xedge Hardware Overview as needed for your switch/environment.
•
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
Xedge packet controllers are equipped with front panel management access ports. Therefore, the SMM is not
required at the rear of the Xedge 6160/Xedge 6280 chassis.
Removal Procedure
1. Loosen the two captive screws on the front panel of the module to be replaced.
2. Open the latches on the front panel of the module.
3. Gently pull the module out of the slot by its latches. There is slight resistance initially until the
module connectors disconnect from the slot connectors.
4. Place the removed module in anti-static packaging.
