This guide explains how to install a CoreBuilder™ 9000 ATM Interface 
Module into a CoreBuilder 9000 chassis, how to power on the system, 
how to download the sytem software and how to perform an initial 
configuration.

ATM Interface

Module Description

The ATM Interface Module interfaces with the ATM Switch Fabric Module 
to create the Enterprise ATM Switch system. The ATM Interface Module 
can be ordered in several configurations, according to your specific 
needs.

A typical Interface Module configuration comprises:

An ATM Interface Carrier Module that is an unpopulated dual-subslot 
dual-channel carrier module

One or two OC-3/STM-1 four-port ATM Interface daughter card(s) that 
can be either single-mode or multi-mode. The OC-3/STM-1 card is also 
available in 3port multi-mode one port single-mode.

One or two OC-12/STM-4 one-port ATM Interface daughter card(s) 
that can be either single-mode or multi-mode

These different combinations can be ordered as pre-packaged bundles, or 
the components can be ordered separately. The combination/bundle and 
their corresponding part numbers are presented in appendix of the ATM 
Interface Module User Guide. Table 1 shows the combinations that are 
available without the part numbers.
