4.3 Installing CPU-Interface Cards in a ServSwitch Multi
To install an Autosensing CPU-Interface Card in a ServSwitch Multi, take these steps:
1. Position the ServSwitch Multi so that its rear panel is facing you, as shown in Figure 4-4. Choose an
available slot. In most cases, any slot that is covered with a blank (connectorless) panel will be available.
However, note that on the Base Unit and MX, the local-console module on the far left end of the Switch’s
rear panel is covered by a blank panel but is not an available slot; no ServSwitch Multi Card of any type can
be installed in that slot. Remember that the option slot (the slot just to the right of the local-console
module, which has no corresponding front-panel LED or pushbutton) is an available slot but should not
be used to host a CPU-Interface Card except in systems with one user and 13 computers.
