Auxiliary Processor Cards

Introduction

6500

PLUS

auxiliary processor cards increase throughput for 6507

PLUS

and 6525

PLUS

nodes. They provide additional processing power, as well as six additional ports.

Description

A 6500

PLUS

auxiliary processor card is a 6507

PLUS

or 6525

PLUS

processor card without

a FLASH module, meaning that the card lacks software storage capabilities.
Optionally, you can purchase a FLASH module for a 6500

PLUS

auxiliary processor

card for downloading software. The front panel is the same as the front panel of the
6500

PLUS

processor cards shown in Figure 1-3.

Note

You cannot use a 6500

PLUS

auxiliary processor card as the primary processor

card in a node and cannot install it in the lowest-numbered slot in the node.
The 6500

PLUS

auxiliary processor card is intended to be used for redundancy and

to increase node performance.
