Installing DMC8 and DMC8-E in an IPE Module Controlled by
MGXPEC (CS 1000E)
The MG XPEC is a double wide, dual card Gateway Controller assembly based on the MGC
hardware. It is used to control line cards in an NT8D37 IPE module.
The MG XPEC features
a motherboard and daughterboard architecture. The two halves of the MG XPEC card act
independently to control separate Media Gateway shelves, providing the same hardware
functionality of an MGC.
The MG XPEC can be thought of as two separate MGC cards bolted together. The left board
(motherboard) controls the left half of the IPE module and the right board (daughterboard)
controls the right half of the IPE module.
Each board of the dual card assembly controls eight slots of the IPE module, for a total of 16
slots. The motherboard controls the 8 IPE slots to the left of the MG XPEC and the
daughterboard controls the 8 IPE slots to the right of the MG XPEC. Card slots are numbered
from 0 to 7 for the motherboard and 0 to 7 for the daughterboard.

antistatic bag, whenever possible. If an antistatic bag is not available, hand-hold the card,
or set it in a card cage unseated from the connectors.
Caution:

Do not install DMC8-Es into any slot except slots 9, 19, or 29.
Note:
The DMC8s must be adjacent to each other so the faceplate cables can be connected to
the ports.
