Procedure 5
Checking main Core card installation
The main Core cards, including the MMDU (with the cables for power and
data), are installed in the factory as shown in Figure 3 on
1 NT4N65AB CP PII Core Network Interface (cCNI) cards:
Each system contains 1-4 NT4N65 cCNI card per Core/Net module. The
cCNI cards are located in slot c9-c12. If not already installed, install a
P0605337 CP PII Card Slot Filler Panel to cover slots which do not
contain cCNIs.
Note: In the NT4N40 Core/Net card cage, port 0 on the NT4N65 Core to
Network Interface (cCNI) Card in slot c9 must be configured as "group 0."
Port 1 on this card must be configured as group 1. The cCNI and 3PE
cards for group 0 communicate through the NT4N29 cables. The cCNi to
3PE cables for groups 1 to 7 communicate through the NTND14 cables.
2 Slots c13 and c14 are left empty. If not already installed, install a
P0605337 CP PII Card Slot Filler Panel in each slot.
3 NT4N48 System Utility (Sys Util) card is located in slot c15.
