HOT PATCHING

Port and expansion circuit cards are "hot patchable" and "self
initializing," meaning that a faulty card can be removed and replaced
while the system is powered, having no effect on any part of the
system operation, except to the card's assigned sixteen ports.
Communication to a card's connected remote devices will be
interrupted when that card is removed from the matrix. When the card
is replaced, communication is restored.

SLOT NUMBERING

Each port and expansion card has circuitry to support 16 ports. A grid
printed on the matrix's rear panel gives the numbering scheme for the
ports, as shown in Figure 5-4.

CONFIGURATION

When a port card is physically installed, its ports must be assigned
functions from the Eclipse Configuration System (ECS). Refer to the
Eclipse Configuration System Instruction Manual for more information.
