Chassis Slot Numbering

The term “slot” refers to the position at which a module is installed in the chassis. CMM slot positions are designated as Slots A and B. For the OS7700, NI slot numbers range from 1 to 8. For the OS7800, NI slot numbers range from 1 to 16.

Power supply bays are also given specific slot numbers. For the OS7700, slot numbers are designated PS-1 through PS-3, from top to bottom. For the OS7800, slot numbers are desig- nated PS-1 through PS-4, from top to bottom.
