Card installation procedure

When unpacking the hardware, use ESD precautions while handling the
cards. As each car d is placed in the Me ridian 1 system, re cord the TN,
management MAC address and the card density on the installation summary
sheet. The management MAC address is labeled on the ITG Trunk card
faceplate as the mother b o ard E th ern e t address.
Each ITG card requires two slots in a Meridian 1 IPE shelf. Only the left slot
of the card requires connection to the Meridian 1 IPE backplane and I/O
panel.
At least one DCHIP card must be installed in an ITG ISL Trunk node. You
must install the D-C hannel (DCH) PC Card and the associated NT CW84EA
DCHIP PC Card Pigtail cable on to the DCHIP card.
You can install a maximum of eight ITG cards in an IPE shelf. The ITG card
can occupy any two adjacent slots in an IPE she lf, with th e left slot o f the card
plugging into slots 0 to 6 and 8 to 15. You cannot plug in the left slot of an
ITG card in slot 7, because the XPEC card is situ ated in-betwe en slots 7 and 8 .
To allow a module to hold the maxim um number of ITG cards, install e ach
card with the left slot of th e ca rd inserted in an even-n u m b er e d sl ot.
If the maximum card density for each module is not required, the left slot of
the ITG card can be inserted in an odd-numbered slot.
