Installing the ATM The 4-port ATM interface module can hold up to four ATM interface Interface Daughter daughter cards. The installation procedure of the 4-port ATM interface

Cards module comprises two stages. First, you install the ATM interface daughter cards in the 4-port ATM interface module. Then, you install the 4-port ATM interface module into the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch chassis.

To install the ATM interface daughter cards perform the following procedure:

1Select the individual daughter cards that are to occupy the interface card’s four openings.

2Align each module with the front panel aperture as shown in Figure 8 and press down to engage the strip connectors on the underside of the module. Three screws anchor each module to its seat on the interface card. Interface openings reserved for future use should be covered with blank panels. Used interfaces should use the coax or optical panels as covers.

Installing a 4-PortWhen the ports of the interface module have been fitted with the Interface Module appropriate daughter card, you install the 4-port interface module into

the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch chassis.

To install the 4-port interface module:

1Orient the interface module so its labelling is upright and be certain that the inject handles are in the outward position.

2Insert the card into the chassis by placing it between the guides of the selected slot and sliding the card until it stops.

3Be certain that the card sits in the guide slots on either side. Be sure that the loose screws do not interfere with card insertion.
