LinkBuilder MSH Modules 3-17

Choosing Slots For Modules

All slots in the MSH chassis have the same functionality and
therefore you are not restricted as to where in the chassis you
place Ethernet and Token Ring modules. However, we make the
following recommendations for practicality and easy
management of the chassis:
■Group all Ethernet modules together and all token ring modules
together.
■Group any ECS modules together and connect to Bus E1(Buses E2
and E3 can be used but will not provide full statistics gathering).
■Insert the management module into slot 11 of the chassis.
This configuration facilitates administration and network
monitoring.
ECS modules must be installed in slots 1 to 10 only.
There are constraints to the positions of FDDI modules relative to
one other. These are detailed in the user guide which
accompanies the RingBuilder module. There are no constraints on
the position of FDDI modules or groups relative to Ethernet and
Token Ring modules
LinkBuilder MSH Modules
Please note that this section covers the common installation and
removal instructions for MSH modules. For installation and
removal details specific to each module, please refer to the User
Guide that accompanies the product.
The modules are designed to be hot inserted into the MSH
chassis; you do not need to power down the unit before installing
or replacing them.
