Installing The Network Interface (Ni) And Chassis Management Modules (Cmms); Ni Modules; Cmms - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000 Series Getting Started Manual

Installing the Network Interface (NI) and
Chassis Management Modules (CMMs)
Once you are properly grounded, you may begin installing the
Network Interface (NI) and CMM(s).
Note. OmniSwitch 9000 Series CMMs and NIs are
colored orange to distinguish them from OmniSwitch
7700/7800 CMMs and NIs that are colored white. Do not
install OmniSwitch 9000 Series and OmniSwitch 7700/
7800 CMMs and NIs in the same chassis.

NI Modules

NI modules may be installed in any slot position from
1 through 16 in OS9800 switches, 1 through 8 in OS9700
switches and 1 through 4 in OS9600 switches.

CMMs

On OmniSwitch 9000 Series switches, a minimum of one
CMM is required for switch operations. On OmniSwitch 9700/
9800 switches, the second CMM provides redundancy. CMMs
may be installed either in slot A or slot B in OmniSwitch
9700/9800 switches.
Note. CMM redundancy is not supported on OmniSwitch
9600 switches because OS9600 switches contain only one
CMM slot.
14 Installing the Hardware
In non-redundant configurations, the CMM may be installed in
either slots A or B. In redundant configurations, the CMM
installed in slot A will be designated primary by default. For
detailed information, refer to the OmniSwitch 9000 Series
Hardware Users Guide.
NI modules cannot be installed in CMM slots A or B; like-
wise, CMMs cannot be installed in any NI slot position.
More Information on Slot Numbering. For a diagram
showing the chassis layout and slot positions, refer to
OmniSwitch 9000 Series Hardware Users Guide.
