1-4CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW

Switching Module

The two slots just under the power supply contain switching modules,

 

one slot for the active switching module and one slot for the redundant

 

switching module.

 

 

 

The switching module is the core switching engine of the CoreBuilder

 

7000 family ATM switch, controlling and monitoring passive backplane

 

and ATM activity. The switching module has a control port for connection

 

to a terminal, a management port for connection to a network

 

management station, and a service port for use by 3Com technicians.

Interface Module

The next four slots contain interface modules. These can be of many

 

different types; some are shown in the figure (see the CoreBuilder 7000

 

Family ATM Switches User Guide for details).

 

 

Fans

For ventilation a fan tray with 6 fans is located at the left side of the unit.
