System capacity
Physical Capacity
Each ICB card occupies one slot on the Gateway/IPE chassis shelf.
The total number of ICB cards per system is limited by these factors:
• For Meridian 1 or CS 1000M: The number of IPE shelves multiplied
by eight. Option 11C and Wall-Mount systems are limited to six
cards.
• For CS 1000: The number of Gateway chassis shelves multiplied by
four cards.
• For CS 2100/Meridian SL-100: Up to eight cards can be supported
per IPE shelf.
System compatibility
Meridian 1 and Option 11
ICB Release 4 is compatible with the following Meridian 1/Option 11
systems:
• Option 11C, 11E, 11C Mini
• Option 21 and 21E
• Option 51, 51C
• Option 61, 61C
