60 Equipment installation and configuration
Network card slots in the modules listed house other network-type cards
that are contending with the Local Carrier Interface card for space in the
module. If one or more network card slots are empty, the choice of where
to install the Local Carrier Interface card is shown in the following section.
Note:
an NT8D04 Superloop Network card physically occupies only one card
slot, it occupies four network loops.
Selecting the I/O Panel connector cutouts to install the Carrier I/O
panel assemblies
Large Systems contain Network Modules and modules that contain
network card slots among card slots for common and sometimes intelligent
peripheral equipment. Each module type has a different I/O panel and
might or might not have connector cutouts suitable for installation of the
carrier remote panel assemblies.
Before installing the carrier panel assemblies into the I/O panel connector
cutouts, carefully select the appropriate connector cutouts, identify their
connector number, and use the Carrier Remote IPE Connection Record
label below to record the installation characteristics for each Local Carrier
Interface card.
Network Module I/O Panel connector cutouts selection
When installing the carrier remote panel assemblies for each Local Carrier
Interface card, use the following recommendations:
•
Use Local Carrier Interface card I/O extension cables, NT7R69AA and
NT7R69BA, if it is necessary to reach available I/O panel connector
cutouts in other network modules or Core/IF modules.
•
When installing multiple Local Carrier Interface cards and their
respective carrier panel assemblies into a Network Module, use the
following recommendations for the P0745716 Universal I/O panel:
•
Left I/O Panel:
For the first Local Carrier Interface card, install the NT7R57AA
Carrier Panel Assembly into the I/O panel connector cutout J22 and
the NT7R58AA Maintenance Panel Assembly into the connector cutout
J26.
•
Right I/O Panel:
For the second Local Carrier Interface card, install the NT7R57AA
Carrier Panel Assembly into the I/O panel connector cutout J2 and the
NT7R58AA Maintenance Panel Assembly into the connector cutout J6.
Each network card slot supports two network loops. Although
