3.The stand-alone DMM is always considered to be on the first subslot of the slot in which the stand-alone DMM is installed. Note that a stand-alone DMM does not have the housing for a MAC daughter card.

4.In the case of an EC-DMM which does have the housing for 6 E-MACs, the EC-DMM module is always considered to be in subslot 1 of the slot in which the EC-DMM is installed. Also, the DMM part of EC-DMM is always considered to be in subslot 8. If there are any E-MAC daughter cards installed in the EC-DMM, they will be considered to be in subslots 2 thru 7 of the slot on which EC-DMM is installed. Figure 34 shows how the slot and subslot IDs are used on an EC-DMM.

Figure 34. EC-DMM Slots and Subslots

For example, in our 8260, we had an EC-DMM installed in slot 1. This module had an E-MAC installed on the first position (DB1 as shown in Figure 34). If we display this module, the result would be as shown in Figure 35.
