Chapter 3 Setting Up the Hardware
Installing Voice Cards
Note The slot assignments shown in the table do not apply to voice cards.
For supported platforms that are not listed above, the host card can be installed in any applicable slot.
(For the platforms that support using an expansion chassis, refer to the Cisco Unity Supported Platforms
List, available at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_data_sheets_list.html.)
Note that if the slot location of a customer-provided server management card (such as Hewlett-Packard
Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition) conflicts with a required host card slot, the host card takes
precedence.
Step 6 Insert each voice card firmly into its slot in the server or in the expansion chassis, and fasten each card
to the back plate with a screw. Note the following considerations, as applicable:
• If you are installing more than one voice card of the same model, and if the cards include a hardware
setting that indicates which card is first, second, and so on, install the cards in the order specified
by the hardware settings.
• If you are installing voice cards of different models in the same server, install cards of the same
model adjacent to one another.
• Choose a physically compatible slot in an appropriate bus segment. Refer to the manufacturer
documentation for detailed PCI bus topology information.
Caution Placing a 33-MHz Intel Dialogic voice card in a physical interface slot in the same logical
segment as a 66-MHz PCI or 100-to-133-MHz PCI-X interface card will slow both slots in the
logical segment to 33 MHz, degrading performance of the whole platform.
Step 7 If you are installing multiple voice cards that have H.100 bus connectors, cable the cards together. On
each card, connect the cable so the red stripe on the cable corresponds with pin 1 on the card connector.
Confirm that the connectors are firmly seated.
Caution If you do not cable cards together as required, the voice card software will not start, and
Cisco Unity will not answer calls.
