Installing The Enterprise Enhanced Cpu Daughter Card - Nortel 8600 Series Installing

Appendix
Installing the Enterprise enhanced CPU
daughter card
This appendix describes how to install the optional Enterprise enhanced
CPU daughter card (hereinafter referred to as the daughter card or
SuperMezz) on the 8692SF CPU module. The Enterprise enhanced CPU
daughter card is only supported on the 8692SF CPU module.
The Enterprise enhanced CPU daughter card is a mezzanine daughter
card for the 8692SF module. The daughter card consists of dual 1 GHz
Power PC processors. Installing the daughter card on an 8692SF module
offloads processor intensive tasks from the 333 MHz processor located
on the 8692SF CPU motherboard.
With Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Release 4.1, the daughter card provides
decreased convergence times for large forwarding tables.
In a system with two Ethernet Routing Switch 8692SF CPU modules, you
must install an 8692SF CPU daughter card on both of the 8692SF modules.
The 8692SF CPU module is sensitive to static electricity. Be aware that
electrostatic discharge from your clothing or other fixtures around you, even
at levels that do not create a spark, can cause damage to the module
components.
