Installing ATM Link Modules
To install an ATM link module, complete these preliminary tasks as needed:
• Choose a slot
• Remove a link module
• Configure jumper settings
This chapter describes each of these tasks, as well as how to install the ATM link
module.
Choosing a Slot
You can install the ATM link module in
• Slots 2 through 5 in the BLN platform (Figure 1-1)
• Slots 2 through 5 in the BLN-2 platform (Figure 1-2)
• Slots 1 through 6 and Slots 8 through 14 in the BCN platform (Figure 1-3)
Note:
In this guide, the term ATM link module includes all Nortel Networks
ARE link modules (ARE OC-3, DS-3, E-3, and SONET/SDH) , unless referring
to a specific model. The term does not include the ARE processor module.
Note:
You must install the link module in a slot opposite an ARE processor
module. (See Chapter 2 for instructions on installing an ARE processor
module.) Do not install an ATM link module in a slot opposite a Fast Routing
Engine (FRE or FRE-2) processor module. Likewise, do not install a FRE or
FRE-2 link module into a slot opposite an ARE processor module.
