CSX7000 Guide
22 CyberSWITCH
The first CSX7000 is configured with two groups and an EMS processor:
•
First group: the processor board must be in slot 1, with the remaining boards in slots 2 through
8. Shunts are required between 2 and 3, 4 and 5, 6 and 7.
•
Second group: the processor board will go in slot 9, followed by the remaining two boards in
slots 10 and 11. A shunt is required between 10 and 11.
•
Since this is the first of two CSX7000s, the EMS module must be located in slot 15 of this first
platform.
Our second CSX7000 is configured with four groups, as follows:
•
First group: the processor board is located in slot 1, with the remaining boards in slots 2 through
6 (shunts between 2,3 and 4,5).
•
Second group: the processor board is located in slot 7, with the remaining boards in slots 8, 9 and
10 (shunt between 8,9)
•
Third group: the processor board is located in slot 11, with the remaining boards in slots 12, 13,
and 14 (shunt between 12,13)
•
The last group: the processor board is located in slot 15, and the second board is located in slot
16.
Note that since the second CSX7000 is also controlled by the EMS module in the first CSX7000, slots
15 and 16 on the second CSX7000 are available for another group.

NSTALLATION
System groups (including processor modules) will be factory preinstalled. However, in the event
of an on-site upgrade, refer to
EMS Installation
or
Processor Module Installation
. Note that non-
conductive mylar sheets should be used between PM boards and adjacent cards; and the entire
backplane should be secured with the strain relief cross-bar once all system groups are installed.

EMS
The Environmental Management System (EMS) is a combination of hardware and software
features that collect information and alarms, as well as carry out processor control commands in
the CSX7000 (subsystem). The EMS Module may monitor and control up to 31 CSX7000s as a single
cluster. However, a typical cluster configuration controlled by EMS would contain a maximum of
eight platforms.

8 boards (maximum
