V7.x Packet Controllers

Hardware Installation Guidelines

This section describes the hardware setup and installation of the following packet controller
modules: ISG2, PCX, PCL and PCE.
When handling Xedge Slot Controllers, always use an antistatic wrist strap to prevent static
discharge damage to the electronic circuits.
To avoid damaging the EMI springs when installing a module in a chassis, carefully insert a
module into its slot and fasten its front panel captive screws to the chassis before installing the
next module. Similarly, modules should be removed one at a time; that is, unfasten the captive
screws of one module and remove it from the slot before removing the next module. In the event
of damage to the EMI springs, contact your authorized field service representative.
Refer to Chapter 2, Xedge Chassis Systems to make power, management and cable connections
and for additional information on your specific Xedge Chassis.
Once all modules are installed and connected, refer to the Xedge MSPx Version 7.3.X
Configuration Guide (032R401-V73x) for detailed configuration procedures.

Basic Installation Procedure

1. There are no user-selectable jumpers on Xedge packet controllers. Header P3 (on PCX/2,
PCL, and ISG2) and Header P4 (on PCE) are for factory use only and must remain shorted on
Pins 2-3.
2. For all controllers, set the boot mode rotary switch (S1) as follows:
For the ISG2 controller, refer to S1 settings in
For the PCX controllers (PCX and PCX-2), refer to S1 settings in
For the PCL controller, refer to S1 settings in
For the PCE controller, refer to S1 settings in
3. Determine which slot to use for each module, according to the following guidelines:
Controllers that serve as the slot-0 controller must use the Slot-0 Main position. In a
redundant system, only ISG2 modules can use Slot-0 Main and Slot-0 Standby positions.
In a switch with a variety of Xedge cell, adaptation and packet controllers, a packet
controller must serve as the slot-0 controller(s).
Non Slot-0 controllers can use any of the remaining slots.
4. Remove the blank panel that covers the slot by loosening its two retaining screws.
To remove/replace an existing module, refer to
5. Carefully insert the edges of the module into the tracks of the slot.
6. Holding both latches on the module front panel outward, gently slide the module into the slot
until its front panel bottoms out on the chassis.
7. Close the latches after their closures clear the front edge of the chassis latch bar.
8. Tighten the two captive screws on the front panel of the module.
9. Refer to Chapter 5, Line Interface Modules to setup and install compatible LIMs as required:
For PCX, refer to
For PCL, refer to
For PCE, refer to
10. Configure the packet controllers and their LIMs as required using the Xedge MSPx 7.x
Configuration Guide.
