Small System expansion

Both the Cabinet system and the Chassis system support fiber-optic and IP expansion. Up to four Expansion Cabinets or Chassis can be connected to the Main with CAT5 or 100BaseF cable and located up to 3 km (1.8 mi) from the Main. With the introduction of IP connectivity, IP expansion can be distributed over a Campus Data Network.

For fiber-optic expansion, the following three basic components, in addition to other hardware, are required:

•Small System Controller (SSC) card in the Main

•Fiber Expansion daughterboard

•Fiber Receiver card in the Expansion

For IP expansion, the following three basic components, in addition to other hardware, are required:

•SSC card in the Main

•IP Expansion daughterboards (minimum two)
