Installing Nodes in Modulus Enclosures
Requirements for Installing a TRIM Card
Introduction This section describes the requirements for installing a TRIM card. TRIM cards are
suitable only in a Modulus enclosure and only with 6507
PLUS
and 6525
PLUS
cards.
A 6500
PLUS
node can support only one TRIM card. Modulus 8 and Modulus 9
enclosures can support just one node containing a TRIM card. Modulus 18 and 21
enclosures can support up to three nodes containing TRIM cards.
TRIM Card Upgrade
Kits
The following product codes allow you to upgrade your system for LAN
compatibility:
TRIM-Compatible
Processor Card
Not all 6500
PLUS
processor cards can support the TRIM card. A processor card that
supports a TRIM card has a “LAN COMPATIBLE” label on the lower front panel.
TRIM cards can be physically mounted on all 6500
PLUS
processor cards, but work
only with cards marked “LAN COMPATIBLE.” If your processor card does not
have this marking, see your VanguardMS sales representative to order a LAN-
capable processor card.
In multiple-CPU configurations, only the processor card supporting the TRIM card
needs to be LAN-compatible.
