    SERIAL ALARM Both the single dc power supply cvMAX-100 and the redundant dc power supply have two sets of terminal block inputs. On the single dc power supply model, only the terminal inputs on the left are active. On a redundant power supply, the inputs on the left are for the primary power supply, while inputs on the right are for the secondary power supply.
  • Page 19: Dram

    The DRAM card is a proprietary Lucent card (Figure 1-4). It is not hot-swappable and should not be removed while the cvMAX-100 is running. The DRAM card attaches directly to the CPU bus, and damage might occur if you attempt to remove while running.
  • Page 20: Cvmax-100 Slot Cards

    The cvMAX-100 accommodates two WAN slot cards, two PC cards, and one DRAM card. The figures in this section help you to identify your slot cards. For information about configuring the slot cards, see the cvMAX Network Configuration Guide.
  • Page 21: T1 Card

    The T1 card provides eight unchannelized lines, which can be used for nailed connections such as to a Frame Relay network. In nailed connections the configuration is static, and the cvMAX-100 treats the line as if it were a single connection at a fixed speed, without individual channels.
