	The Vanguard 7300 Series also supports the following half-size piggyback cards,
	Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Mezzanine Cards, known as PMCs:
	•	10/100BaseT Ethernet PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC)
	•	Voice PCI Mezzanine Card (a custom T1/E1/PRI card PMC)
	•	T3 ATM PCI Mezzanine Card (a custom T3 ATM card PMC)
	•	Advanced Encryption Card (AEC)
	A Vanguard 7300 PMC does not require a chassis slot, but mounts on top of one of
	the full-size Vanguard 7300 cards. The full-size card serves as the PMC’s host.
	For example, a single 10/100 BaseT Ethernet PMC can be hosted by the Vanguard
	7300	CPU Card, or two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet PMCs can be hosted by the Carrier
	Expansion Card. The T1/E/1PRI Card’s Voice PMC can only be hosted by a
	Vanguard 7300’s T1/E1/PRI Card.
