Figure 1-2. A Fifteen-Slot Network 9000 Chassis
Chassis
A Network 9000 chassis includes the physical enclosure, slots for the processor modules
and I/O modules, the power supplies, and the midplane. The manual Installing the
Network 9000 Intra-Networking Hub describes the chassis in detail and explains how to
install the chassis at your site.
Slots and Modules
The Network 9000 chassis in Figures 1-1 and 1-2 provide compartments for power supplies
and slots for I/O modules and processor modules. An I/O module is a component which
provides links to the network and cabling. A processor module is a component which
provides the central processor for the Network 9000 product and the management
capabilities. Each slot can accommodate one I/O module and one processor module which
enter the chassis from opposite sides. Each Network 9000 chassis also includes one I/O
module called an AC input module, which occupies the I/O portion of the first chassis slot.
Some products such as managed 10BASE-T/10BASE-F concentrators, multiprotocol
terminal servers, LAN bridge/routers, and WAN bridge/routers are module sets. These
products include a processor module and an I/O module. Other products such as an
unmanaged 10BASE-T Concentrator 201 consists of an I/O module only.

The Network 9000 Intra-Networking Hub also offers an adaptor card, which allows you to use Xyplex
MAXserver family products in a Network 9000 chassis. If you currently use MAXserver products, you can
still use them as part of a Network 9000 Intra-Networking Hub.
