Implementation
Location of Smart slots
Design considerations should be given to the location of smart slots within the system. One option is to
allocate a spare slot on each chassis or per module type. Another option is to allocate one smart slot
per system panel
; if this option is selected then the IMB 0V of each chassis needs connecting together
using a TC-006 cable. Each chassis (processor and expander) requires a TC-006 to connect to the
Molex socket on the back of each chassis and the crimps on the other end are taken to terminals that
are commoned together, this ensures that each isolated IMB 0v is at the same potential. Refer to PD-
TC000 for further information on TC-006.
