5. Module Installation

5.1 Module Stacking Order

Although you are not actually installing the modules yet, it is important to become familiar with the five chassis positions available for modules in the Multiserver unit. These are identified from bottom to top as module locations A through E (see Figure 5-1). The possible hardware-configuration combinations are numerous. Regardless of the combination you choose, the Communications Control Module (CCM) must always be in module location A. The optional NMS module is always installed directly below the CCM. The rest of the modules should be installed in the following order, from bottom to top:

MODULE

ISU	DDS SERVICE
	LINE 1

VOICE/FAX	SB M E SG R1 T1	KTS
		R T
	VOICE CHANNEL 1	OPX

•6-channel CEM

•12-channel CEM

•Voice/fax module

•RLB module

•56K CSU/DSU module

Stacking is done from bottom to top without skipping a module location. For example, if you have three modules (a CCM and two optional modules), the modules should be stacked in module locations A through C with locations D and E left open. If there are four modules, module location E will be left unused.
