Remove/Install Card-Slot Adapter
PURPOSE
This procedure provides instructions to convert a full-high IOC slot to a half-high IOC slot or to
convert a half-high IOC slot to a full-high IOC slot.
PREREQUISITES
This procedure assumes there is no card or filler panel installed in the slot. If the slot is not empty,
refer to
IXL-103
for the appropriate procedure to remove the card or filler panel before proceeding.
GENERAL
There are two types of card-slot adapters: a two card-slot adapter and a three card-slot adapter. An
adapter to convert only one slot is not available. The minimum conversion is two slots.
A two card-slot adapter converts two full-high IOC slots to four half-high IOC slots. The adapter
vertically divides each full-high slot in half.
A three card-slot adapter converts three adjacent full-high IOC slots to six half-high IOC cards.
There are two types. One is labeled LH (left-hand) and the other is labeled RH (right-hand). Use the
LH and RH three card-slot adapters for the following applications only:
•
Use the adapter marked LH when the card cage contains a full-high OC-192 card
installed in slot 6, and half-high cards are to be installed in adjacent slots 5A, 5B,
or both.
•
Use the adapter marked RH when the card cage contains a full-high OC-192 card
installed in slot 12, and half-high cards are to be installed in adjacent slots 13A,
13B, or both.
For all other half-high requirements use only the two card-slot adapter.
