1. MGX 8850/B and 8830/B slots can use an APS-CON only if no RCON is installed.
2. MGX-APS-CON is not supported in the MGX 8850/B chassis. Use the MGX-8850-APS-CON connector instead.
3. MGX 8850 (PXM1E) switches do not require an APS mini-backplane to support intercard APS for PXM1E-4-155. However, Cisco recommends that you
install an APS connectors on PXM1E-4-155 cards to facilitate future upgrades to the PXM1E-8-155.
4. The MGX-APS-CON connector is not supported for use with PXM1E. Use the MGX-8850-APS-CON connector instead.
5. APS connector supported only for the MGX-SMFIR-1-155 and MGX-STM1-EL-1 back cards.
