Step 3: (If needed)
Install Additional
Modules in the Shelf
The PathBuilder S700 ships with the factory-ordered modules installed. If you have
ordered additional modules, install them as described in this section; otherwise,
proceed to "Step 4: Connect I/O Cabling and Wiring" for instructions on how to
connect the factory-installed modules and verify front panel indicators.
Install the Management CPU module in slot 1. (Slot 2 is reserved for a
n
redundant MCPU, which will be supported in subsequent releases.)
Install the STX module in slot 3. (Slot 4 is reserved for a redundant STX module,
n
which will be supported in subsequent releases.)
Install any one of the following application modules in slot 5-18:
n
DS3 UNI
n
E3 UNI
n
OC3/STM-1 UNI
n
DS1 UNI with IMA
n
E1 UNI with IMA
n
Ethernet
n
DSX-1 CBR
n
E1 CBR
n
QSIM (Quad Serial Interface Module)
n
HSIM (HSSI Module)
n
FAM (Frame Access Module)
n
To minimize reconfiguration of modules to implement future redundancy
capabilities, we recommend that you group similar modules in slots 7-11 or 12-16
and that you configure slots 17 and 18 last.
We recommend that you install OC3/STM-1 modules in slots 5 and 6 in order to
utilize their full bandwidth. Slots 5 and 6 provide 155 Mbps bandwidth for each
slot, while slots 7-18 share bandwidth (200 full-duplex Mbps for each group of
three slots: 7-9, 10-12, 13-15, and 16-18).
Slots 5 and 6 do not support rear redundant T1/E1 modules.
