Product Number: 6100-SYS-IO-3=
This document provides information about installing and replacing the Cisco 6100 Series system I/O card. The system I/O card is a field-replaceable unit (FRU) and is installed on a multiplexer chassis (MC) backplane in a subtended network configuration.
This document includes the following sections:
A subtended network configuration
The term subtending refers to the host MC, and subtended refers to the downstream MC in a subtended network.
Figure 1 shows a subtending tree. The subtending host MC at the top of the subtending tree connects directly to the ATM switch. You can have two subtended node MCs connected to the first subtending host MC located at the top of the subtending tree. One or both of these subtended node MCs can also become a subtending host MC and therefore have one or two subtended node MCs connected to them.
You can subtend an MC to three tiers, with up to six MCs, all connecting through one subtending host MC to the ATM backbone (see Figure 1).
In Figure 2, the DS3 subtend host module (STM) is installed in slot 9 of the subtending host MC. A network interface (NI) module is located in slot 10. If you have
Figure 2 shows a subtending host MC and a subtended node MC with corresponding slot number assignments.
All MCs have a system I/O card installed on the MC backplane. In addition to the system I/O card, a DS3 subtending I/O card is installed on the subtending host MC backplane.
The system I/O card provides the following:
On the system I/O card, the receive DS3 Bayonet-Neill-Concelman (BNC) connector is designated as J4, and the transmit DS3 BNC connector is designated as J3. Figure 3 shows the system I/O card that is currently in the field.
In a subtended network configuration, the system I/O card is attached to the MC connectors P3 and P9, two 2-mm hard metric (HM) module connectors. Figure 4 shows the location of the system I/O card in relation to the DS3 subtending I/O card on the MC backplane.
Coaxial connections for cabling are located on the system I/O card and the DS3 subtending I/O card. The transmit and receive DS3 BNC connectors on the DS3 subtending I/O card are connected to the transmit and receive DS3 BNC connectors on the system I/O card (see Figure 5). Refer to the Cisco 6100 Series User Guide for cabling the system I/O card in a version of the Cisco 6100 Series system that is earlier than Release 2.4.0.
This section describes hardware requirements and lists the parts and tools used to install the system I/O card.
The system I/O card is installed on all MC backplanes and it is not a stand-alone product. In order for a system I/O card to work properly on a subtending host MC, you must install both a DS3 subtending I/O card and DS3 STM.
