UXM-E Back Cards
The UXM-E has many different back cards, providing support for various physical line and connector
configurations. See Table 2-18 for more information.
For images of sample UXM-E back cards, see Figure 2-13, Figure 2-14, Figure 2-15, and Figure 2-16.
For technical information on the various physical line types, see the “UXM-E Physical and Electrical
Specifications” section on page A-4 in the Cisco IGX 8400 Series Installation Guide.
Most UXM-E back cards have a tricolor LED for each line that indicates the status of the line. This
tricolor LED is located above the physical connector for the line. See Table 2-19 for a description of the
tricolor LED.
Note The T1 and E1 back cards do not have the standard service module active and fail LEDs to indicate card
status. If a T1 or E1 back card failure is detected, all of the tricolor LEDs on the back card turn red.
