5. Slot positions
The two left-most module positions are triple width and are used to accommodate Trusted TM TMR
Processors. The first slot is designated Logical 0 in the system configuration and there is no need to
configure the second slot. The remaining module positions are designated Logical 1 to 8 from left to
right. The modules occupying these slots are defined by the user via the System Configuration
Manager – see PD-8082B.
Notes:
(1) The Trusted
TM
TMR Interfaces are designed to operate in the active/standby mode,
known as Companion Slot. One or both positions may be occupied, but both must be
configured in the System Configuration manager to allow for hot standby replacement. If
both positions are occupied, the active module defaults to the left-most position, i.e. the
lower chassis slot number.
(2) In multi-chassis systems, Logical slots 1 and 2 are normally reserved for the Trusted
TM
TMR Expander Interfaces.
(3) Communications modules may be fitted in any Processor chassis or Expander chassis
slot, but Peer to Peer communications is only supported if it is fitted in a Processor
chassis.
All connections between the module and the backplane are via a single, self-aligning high-density
connector. The male connector is on the backplane.
