Select the card slots
To install ISDN BRI cards, perform the following steps:
1 Identify all the slots that can contain them. First identify the modules
with unused network and peripheral card slots and then remove the
covers from the identified modules. To identify the modules, use the
following Print Programs. Table 1 lists the modules that can house
ISDN BRI cards.
• LD 22 to print the system configuration and identify unused
network card slots to install MISPs
• LD 20 to list unused IPE card slots to install SILCs, UILCs and
BRSCs

that supports them in the same network group to avoid using junctors
for dedicated connections.
