Also, all Lineside T1 card connections can be made at the main
distribution frame instead of connecting the NT5D13 Lineside T1 card
external I/O cable at the I/O panel. This eliminates these card slots
restrictions.

For modules with vintage levels that cabled 16 ports to the I/O panel, the
Lineside T1 card can be installed into the following card slot pairs:

Available:

Motherboard/Daughterboard

0 and 1

1 and 2

4 and 5

7 and 8

8 and 9

9 and 10

12 and 13

13 and 14

The Lineside T1 card cannot be installed into the following card slot pairs:

Restricted:

Motherboard/Daughterboard

2 and 3

3 and 4

6 and 7

10 and 11

11 and 12

14 and 15

If the Lineside T1 card must be installed into one of the restricted card
slot pairs, rewire the IPE module card slot to the I/O panel by installing an
additional NT8D81 cable from the Lineside T1 card motherboard slot to
the I/O panel. Re-arrange the three backplane connectors for the affected
card slots. This permits the connection of the NT5D13AA Lineside T1 card
carrier and maintenance external I/O cable at the IPE module I/O panel
connector for card slots that are otherwise restricted.
