Compatibility
Older V
anguard Networks Daughtercards do not fit into the Vanguard 3400 Series.
You can only use the newer daughtercards which are identified by a dimple as shown
in Figure 2-8. If the dimple is not present, do not attempt to use the Daughtercard in
the Vanguard 3400 Series.
Also, when installing a Vanguard Networks Daughtercard into a
3400 Series, you
must use the shorter two-sided header. The taller header is used with other Vanguard
Networks units.

3400 Series, the equipment will be damaged.
If you have an older Vanguard Networks Daughtercard and would like to use it in a
Vanguard 3400 Series, contact your service representative about having the card
reworked.
