Installing Nodes in Modulus Enclosures

Introduction

Installing 6500

PLUS

cards into Modulus enclosures is the same as installing any other

type of Modulus product card.

Additional
Information

For general information on setting up Modulus 8/18 enclosures, attaching product
backplanes, inserting cards, and attaching front and rear filler panels to the
enclosures, refer to the

Modulus Planning and Installation Guide

. For general

information about Modulus 9/21 enclosures, see the

Modulus 9 and 21 Installation

and Operation Guide

The following sections contain Modulus information specific to 6500

PLUS

products,

including multi-processor node information, TRIM card installation, and grounding
strap installation.
