This appendix shows the cards that can be inserted into appropriate slots in the front of the Cisco 6400 universal access concentrator (UAC) chassis and summarizes the pinouts for the associated ports and interface cables. It also shows other important connection facilities that are built into the backplane of the Cisco 6400.
Figure B-1 shows the Cisco 6400 node switch processor (NSP) (in a horizontal orientation to save space).

The NSP console (CON) port is a serial EIA/TIA-232 interface. Table B-1 lists the signals for this connector.

6 | RxD- | Input | Receive Data - |
7 | NC | --- | No connection |
8 | NC | --- | No connection |
Figure B-2 shows the Cisco 6400 node route processor (NRP) (in a horizontal orientation).

3 | TxD | Output | Transmit Data |
4 | GND | --- | Signal ground |
5 | GND | --- | Signal ground |
6 | RxD | Input | Receive Data |
7 | DSR | Input | Data Set Ready |
8 | NC | --- | No connection |
The NRP auxiliary (AUX) port supports hardware flow control and modem control. Table B-5 lists the signals for this connector.

2 | DTR | Output | Data Terminal Ready (for modem control) |
3 | TxD | Output | Transmit Data |
4 | GND | --- | Signal ground |
5 | GND | --- | Signal ground |
6 | RxD | Input | Receive Data |
7 | DSR | Input | Data Set Ready (for modem control) |
8 | CTS | Input | Clear To Send (for hardware flow control) |
The NRP network management Ethernet (ETH) port provides for out-of-band network management for the NRP. Table B-6 lists the signals for this connector.
| Pin | Signal | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | TxD+ | Output | Transmit Data + |
2 | TxD- | Output | Transmit Data - |
3 | RxD+ | Input | Receive Data + |
4 | NC | --- | No connection |
5 | NC | --- | No connection |
6 | RxD- | Input | Receive Data - |
7 | NC | --- | No connection |
8 | NC | --- | No connection |
The Fast Ethernet (FE) port can be used to connect the NRP to a 100BaseT LAN. Table B-7 lists the signals for this connector.
| Pin | Signal | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | TxD+ | Output | Transmit Data + |
2 | TxD- | Output | Transmit Data - |
3 | RxD+ | Input | Receive Data + |
4 | NC | --- | No connection |
5 | NC | --- | No connection |
6 | RxD- | Input | Receive Data - |
7 | NC | --- | No connection |
8 | NC | --- | No connection |
Figure B-3 shows the Cisco 6400 OC-3 node line card (NLC) (in a horizontal orientation).

Figure B-4 shows the fiber-optic interface cable for the OC-3/STM-1 NLC used with the Cisco 6400.
Figure B-5 shows suggested cable management for the OC-3/STM-1 fiber optic cable.

Figure B-6 shows the Cisco 6400 DS3 NLC (in a horizontal orientation).

Figure B-7 shows the coaxial interface cable for the DS3 NLC used with the Cisco 6400.

Figure B-8 shows the Cisco 6400 OC-12 NLC (in a horizontal orientation).

Figure B-9 shows the fiber-optic interface cable for the OC-12/STM-4 NLC used with the Cisco 6400.
Figure B-10 shows suggested cable management for the OC-12/STM-4 fiber optic cable.

Figure B-11 shows the Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) terminal blocks on the Cisco 6400 chassis. The bottom BITS terminal block (labeled A) is associated with the NSP-S3B in slot 0A of the Cisco 6400 chassis (see Figure 1-1); the top BITS terminal block (labeled B) is associated with the NSP-S3B in slot 0B of the chassis.
Figure B-12 shows the external alarm monitoring terminal block on the Cisco 6400. This facility accommodates the attachment of a customer-supplied external alarm monitoring facility to alert site personnel to the existence of an alarm condition in the Cisco 6400.
Figure B-13 shows the location of two identical system power terminal blocks on the rear of the Cisco 6400 chassis. These terminal blocks are associated with the power entry module (PEM) bays in the front of the chassis (see Figure 1-1). The upper terminal block services the top PEM bay; the lower terminal block services the bottom PEM bay.
Figure B-14 shows the DC power conections with the rear cover installed.

Figure B-15 shows the location of the AC power cable connection on the AC PEM.
Figure B-16 shows the system grounding connection for the Cisco 6400.
