2.On Form 1 (page 2), System Planning, review the completed Control Unit Diagram and determine whether the module type needed is present. Do one of the following:

■If the module is not in the control unit, skip to Step 4.

■If the module type needed is already in the control unit, proceed to Step 3.

3.Determine whether there are jacks available on the module for the new line/trunk, auxiliary equipment, or telephone by referring to Form 2a, System Numbering: Extension Jacks, or Form 2c, System Numbering: Line/Trunk Jacks. Do one of the following:

■If there are sufficient jacks available on an existing module, plan to connect the added line/trunk, equipment or telephone to them. Skip to Step 6.

■If no jacks are available, proceed to Step 4.

4.Plan the placement of the new module required to support the line/trunk, auxiliary equipment, or telephone by reviewing the guidelines that follow and deciding where the new module should be placed.

■The power supply module must be placed in the far left slot of each carrier.

■The processor module must be installed in Slot 0 of the basic carrier.

■Line/trunk and/or extension modules can be placed in any order in Slots 1 through 17 (with two expansion carriers), with the following conditions:

—Install the modules in each carrier from left to right, with no empty slots between modules.

—If the system includes a QCC, the 008 MLX module that supports it must be the first extension module in the control unit.

—Place all older 008 OPT modules (Apparatus Codes 517A28–517C28) and 012 T/R modules (Apparatus Codes from 517C13–517F13) in carriers with ring generators installed in the power supply module. Current versions of 008 OPT modules (Apparatus Code 517D28), 012 T/R modules [Apparatus Code 517G13(28)], and 016 T/R modules (Apparatus Code 517A34) have built-in ring generators and can be mixed in carriers with the older modules that already have a generator in place.
