About the Model 500xBH/BHC Backplane

The Model 500xBH/BHC ATM/Router Backplane integrates the two bus

technologies shown in Figure1-3 and Figure 1-4.

Figure 1-3. Model 5000BH/BHC ATM/Router Backplane Bus Structure

Figure 1-4. Model 5005BH ATM/Router Backplane Bus Structure

Note: The Model 5000BH and 5000BHC backplanes are identical with the

exception of an additional shared 100 Mb/s backplane on the Model

5000BHC. The Model 5625HD switch module does not connect to these

shared backplanes. The Model 5625HD switch module can be used with the

Model 5000BH and 5000BHC backplanes without altering the module’s

performance.
