Plug-in Requirements
During April 2007 an updated IDCe (INUe chassis) was introduced. This IDCe
accepts a new 2RU FAN and also the current 1RU FANs.
The updated IDCe is form-fit-function compatible with the previous IDCe, and
retains its 002 part number extension.
One 2RU FAN is supplied as standard with the updated IDCe.
Function/Requirement Priority Details
Slot Assignment
All slots filled All slots must be filled with either a plug-in or a blanking panel.
Failure to do so will compromise EMC integrity and distribution of
FAN cooling air.
Universal slots RAC, DAC, and AUX plug-ins can be fitted in any universal slot.
Restricted slots DAC, and AUX plug-ins can be fitted in any restricted slot. The
exceptions are the DAC 155oM and AUX, which must only be
installed in slots 1 to 6 when they are to be configured to carry/access
9500 MXC NMS, otherwise they can be installed in slots 7 to 9.
Dedicated slots The NCC, FAN, and NPC plug-ins have dedicated slots. The NCC
and FAN are required plug-ins, the NPC is optional.
Assigning DAC 16x slots When installing a 16xE1/DS1 DAC, use slots to the right side for
easier trib cable management.
AUX Multiple AUX plug-ins can be installed per INU/INUe.
NPC Only one NPC is required to provide the NCC protection option. An
NPC must be installed in slot 4 of an INU, or slot 10 of an INUe.
