Configuration Rules for the Control Dual FIM Carrier Card
The SX-200 ML (RM) system is limited to only one peripheral cabinet
(Bay 2):
 Slot 10 onboard FIM interfaces to first peripheral cabinet (Bay 2)
 Slot 10 add-on FIM interfaces to second peripheral cabinet
(Bay 3)
 Slot 11 onboard FIM interfaces to third peripheral cabinet (Bay 4)
 Slot 11 add-on FIM interfaces to fourth peripheral cabinet (Bay 5)
In an SX-200 ELx cabinet, the BCC III can support a FIM II or a
CIM in a peripheral cabinet and the PRI card can support a FIM
II or a CIM in the main control cabinet and in the
peripheral cabinet. Taking advatage of this can replace the
need for a Peripheral FIM Carrier II or the Control Dual FIM
Carrier.
