The shelf is designed to be center-mounted in a standard telecom 23-inch relay rack. Two chassis can be mounted in a standard 7-foot configuration. There should be at least 5” betweenthe two chassis.
Module Cage and Slot Designation
The MGX 8240 shelf has a 16-slot card cage. There are 15 full-size slots and 2 half-size slots. The two half-sized slots are for IMCs.
An MGX 8240 with IMC redundancy uses two IMCs, one primary and one backup. An IMC fits into each of the two half-size slots. At installation, usually the top IMC is primary, and the bottom IMC is backup. Figure 2-3shows the slot designation for the cards.
Note If only one IMC is to be used, it should be placed in Slot 1A.
