Installation
About Plug-in Modules
Module Type and Locations
Module locations when the B1500A is shipped from the factory are shown in Table
3-12. This table shows the relative locations by the module types.
If the SPGUs are installed, the SPGUs must be installed in the slots from the slot
number 1. And if the
SPGU and the WGFMU are not installed and the HPSMUs are
installed, the HPSMUs must be installed in the slots from the slot number 1. Then
the same type of modules must be installed in the contiguous slots.
For example, if the module configuration is two HPSM
U, two MPSMU, and one
CMU, the B1500A will be shipped with the HPSMUs of the slots 1 to 4, the
MPSMUs of the slots 5 to 6, the CMU of the slot 7, and the blank panels of the slots
8 to 10.
