ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Plug-in Installation
Installing or changing out a plug-in is a straightforward process.
l The table below lists plug-in requirements at installation or subsequent
upgrade.
l Unless specified by the customer, plug-ins will not be installed in an
INU/INUe at shipment. Instead, each is individually packed within the
shipping box.
For a description of the plug-ins, see Plug-in Cards on page 18.
For information on user-interface connector and cable data, refer to INU/INUe Cable
Assemblies on page 86.
Table 3-4. Plug-in Requirements
Function/Requirement Priority Details
Slot Assignment
All slots filled All slots must be filled with either a plug-in or a blanking
panel. Failure to do so will compromise EMC integrity and
distribution of FAN cooling air.
Universal slots

1-6 on an INUe
RAC, DAC, and AUX plug-ins can be fitted in any universal
slot.
Restricted slots
7-9 on an INUe
DAC, and AUX plug-ins can be fitted in any restricted slot.
The exceptions are the DAC 155oM, DAC 155eM, and AUX,
which must only be installed in slots 1 to 6 when they are to
be configured to carry/access Eclipse NMS, otherwise they
can be installed in slots 7 to 9.
Dedicated slots The NCC, FAN, and NPC plug-ins have dedicated slots.
Protected RACs INUe Protected RACs (or ring-protected RAC with DAC 155oM)
must only be installed in above and below slots as indicated
by the red arrows.
AUX Multiple AUX plug-ins can be installed per INU/INUe.
NPC Only one NPC is required to provide the NCC protection
option. An NPC must be installed in slot 4 of an INU, or slot
10 of an INUe. If an NPC is not installed in an INU, slot 4 is
available as a universal slot.
Installing / Changing Plug-ins

hand contact with the PCB top and bottom.
