Hardware Description

This chapter describes the Cisco 6732 full access device chassis, and the service modules and line interface modules supported by the Cisco 6732 full access device. This chapter includes the following sections:

Overview

The Cisco 6732 full access device multiport-per-slot architecture supports fundamental time division mutliplexing (TDM) and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technologies. The Cisco 6732 is compliant with relevant NEBS, ANSI, and Telcordia network element standards. The Cisco 6732 provides the following functionality and services for central office terminal (COT) and large remote terminal (RT) applications:

Components and Features

Chassis

The Cisco 6732 chassis is designed for mounting in 19-inch or 23-inch equipment racks. It is a dual-shelf chassis that holds the following:


Figure 1-1: Cisco 6732 Full Access Device Chassis


Designated-Purpose Slots

The first three slots on the left of each shelf are exclusively designed to support the following Cisco 6732 service modules:

General-Purpose Slots

Each shelf of the Cisco 6732 provides 16 numbered general-purpose slots for use with line interface modules and selected service modules. The first two general purpose slots on the top shelf support the following service modules, in addition to all line interface modules:

Backplane

The backplane provides the basic architecture and interconnectivity of the Cisco 6732 full access device. The backplane provides all cabling for the Cisco 6732, except for line interface modules with front panel connectors such as the DSX3/CHNL, STSX/CHNL, OC3c-UNI, and T1-2-V35 modules.

Service Modules

Service modules for the Cisco 6732 full access device are hot swappable. They can be inserted into (or removed from) the Cisco 6732 chassis with or without power applied to the system without incurring damage.

The following service modules are available for the Cisco 6732 full access device:

Bank Power Supply, High Power

The bank power supply, high power (BPS-HP) module supplies power to the main control card (MCC) module and installed service modules, and it passes the -48 VDC current through to the installed line interface modules. The BPS-HP module also provides overcurrent protection for the chassis. One BPS-HP module is required for each MCC module installed in the chassis.


Figure 1-2: BPS-HP Front Panel


Available Slots

The BPS-HP module must be placed in designated-purpose slots BPS-A or BPS-B.

Redundancy

Protected (redundant) systems require two BPS-HP modules. One BPS-HP module is inserted in slot BPS-A (to power the service modules in the top shelf) and one in slot BPS-B (to power the service modules in the bottom shelf). If the active BPS-HP module fails, the system switches over to the shelf containing the standby BPS-HP module.

Main Control Card with Stratum 3 Clock

The stratum 3 clock on the main control card (MCC-STR3) module supports synchronization and holdover requirements for the stratum level 3. Systems can also derive timing from an inbound transport span such as a T1, DSX1, or STSX-1.
