•Model 010 is shorter than the Model 017 (498 mm versus 673 mm), but has
the same depth and width.
•Power supplies in the Model 010 are housed on the left side of the chassis
whereas in the Model 017 they are housed in the bottom section.
The 8260 Model 010 shares with the Model 017 all of the following benefits:
•Supports three fan units.
•Supports two Controller module slots for redundancy. The basic model is
shipped with one Controller module, and a second Controller module can be
added for redundancy.
•It uses the same chassis accessories and chassis features:
−Rack mount kit
−Cable management tray
−Power supplies
−Fan units
−Controller module
•Like the 8260 Model 017, the 8260 Model 010 is field upgradeable to support
ATM.
By sharing same chassis elements, networks can be built using a mixture of
Model 017s and Model 010s without an overhead for managing accessories and
spare parts.
Note
In the remainder of this book, the various components of the IBM 8260 are
explained assuming an 8260 Model 017.
1.3 8260 Modules and Daughter Cards
This section will give an overview of currently available 8260 modules and
daughter cards and a brief description of them. Details of individual modules,
the necessary steps required to configure them, and some testing scenarios will
be described in the following chapters. Currently, the available 8260 modules
and daughter cards can be classified as follows:
1.3.1 Ethernet Modules

1.3.1.1 8260 Ethernet 24-Port 10Base-T Module

The 8260 Ethernet 24-port 10Base-T module is single-slot module which provides
two Telco connectors for supporting 24 Ethernet ports. This module provides
per-port switching capability which enables you to connect each port to any of
the eight Ethernet segments on the backplane.
