Using the Model 5625HD EtherSpeed Switch Module

Arranging Modules in a Model 500xBH/BHC Chassis
The Model 5000BH ATM/Router Backplane has two Centillion ATM buses and a
PPX bus to accommodate switch and router modules. The Centillion ATM buses
span two slot ranges in a Model 5000BH/BHC chassis: slots 2 through 7 and 8
through 13. When you install a Model 5625HD switch module in one of these slot
ranges, you must also install an MCP switch module (such as the Model 5720M
ATMSpeed MCP module) in the same range of slots. You can attach up to six
System 5000 switch modules (one of which must be an MCP module) to each
Centillion ATM bus in a Model 5000BH/BHC chassis.
The PPX bus spans slots 2 through 13. A r outer module may be installed in any of
these slots. Router modules for the Model 5000BH ATM/Router Backplane
include the Model 5380 Ethernet Router Module, the Module 5580 Token Ring
Router Module, and the Model 5782 Centillion Multiprotocol Engine Module.
Any slot designated for switch modules can also be used for a standard Ethernet,
token ring, or FDDI, or ATM module with the appropriate backplane(s) inst al led
in the chassis.
