6500PLUS Auxiliary Processor Cards

Introduction	6500PLUS auxiliary processor cards increase throughput for 6507PLUS and 6525PLUS
	nodes. They provide additional processing power, as well as six additional ports.
Description
	A 6500PLUS auxiliary processor card is a 6507PLUS or 6525PLUS processor card without
	a FLASH module, meaning that the card lacks software storage capabilities.
	Optionally, you can purchase a FLASH module for a 6500PLUS auxiliary processor
	card for downloading software. The front panel is the same as the front panel of the
	6500PLUS processor cards shown in Figure 1-3.
		Note
		You cannot use a 6500PLUS auxiliary processor card as the primary processor
		card in a node and cannot install it in the lowest-numbered slot in the node.
		The 6500PLUS auxiliary processor card is intended to be used for redundancy and
		to increase node performance.
