Installation

Installing the BSP200 Line Interface Card

BROADway supports up to four BSP200 single port DS3/mapper line interface cards installed in

positions BSP-1, BSP-2, BSP-3 and BSP-4. If you plan to support redundant BSP operation, you should

preferably install the redundant BSP module in BSP-4. When cabling to other DS3 equipment in an

office environment. Follow the design rules for the distance between DS3 terminal equipment and

DSX-3 bays and inter-bay patch panels; DS3 signals can be very sensitive to incorrectly wired

segments.

Insert the BSP200 card into the chassis. Open the ejector tabs and slide the card into its proper slot until

you feel resistance, then push to close the ejector tabs into their locking position against the metal rails.

Check that the card is firmly in place by applying pressure to the ejector tabs to seat the card fully into

the chassis.

WARNING! WHEN INSTALLING OR REPLACING BROADWAY HARDWARE, ALWAYS ADHERE

TO GOOD PRACTICE WITH RESPECT TO ESD PROCEDURES—USE A REGULARLY AND PROPERLY

TESTED GROUNDING STRAP.
