Installing Nodes in Modulus Enclosures

Requirements for Installing a TRIM Card

Introduction	This section describes the requirements for installing a TRIM card. TRIM cards are
	suitable only in a Modulus enclosure and only with 6507PLUS and 6525PLUS cards.
	A 6500PLUS node can support only one TRIM card. Modulus 8 and Modulus 9
	enclosures can support just one node containing a TRIM card. Modulus 18 and 21
	enclosures can support up to three nodes containing TRIM cards.

	68520	Modulus 21 RFI Suppression Bar	Required for Modulus 21 installations.

TRIM-CompatibleNot all 6500PLUS processor cards can support the TRIM card. A processor card that

Processor Card supports a TRIM card has a “LAN COMPATIBLE” label on the lower front panel. TRIM cards can be physically mounted on all 6500PLUS processor cards, but work only with cards marked “LAN COMPATIBLE.” If your processor card does not have this marking, see your VanguardMS sales representative to order a LAN- capable processor card.

In multiple-CPU configurations, only the processor card supporting the TRIM card needs to be LAN-compatible.
