Installing the Cards
Use a small- to medium-size flat-blade screwdriver to install the MCP and DSL
cards. The MCP card must be installed in Slot 1 of the base chassis.
CAUTION:
Do not insert the MCP card into Slots 2 or 3 as this will damage the
DSLAM chassis. The MCP card must be used in Slot 1 of the base 8610
chassis for proper functionality. Only use the MCP card in an 8610
chassis. Do
not
try to use an MCC or MCC Plus card.
A circuit card may be replaced without disruption to user data (i.e., you can remove
and reinstall a card without powering down the 8610 chassis and disrupting user
data on the other cards). To remove the card from the chassis, unfasten the
screws on both ends of the faceplate. Then, simply push the ejector handles
outward and slide the card out.
When swapping a new card for an old card, it is important to note that the
8610 DSLAM retains the Media Access Control (MAC) address, also referred to as
the physical address. This means that the new card will have the same MAC
address as the old one.
NOTES:
— All standalone 8610 chassis (i.e., chassis that are not daisy-chained to
other Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis) require an MCP card in Slot 1, but
only the base chassis of a multisystem stack requires an MCP card.
— Do not discard filler plates. Each slot in the chassis must contain a circuit
card or a filler plate to maintain the required EMI shielding and to prevent
air leakage from the forced air cooling. Air leakage could result in
overheating which may cause the power to the circuit cards to be shut off.
Store all unused filler plates in a safe place. You may need to use the filler
plates to cover open slots in the chassis at a later time.
