Introduction
Preparing for Installation
Expanded NV8576-Plus
The expanded NV8576-Plus router comprises two 32RU frames that have the same structure as
the NV8576 frames. Please refer to figures 1-10 and 1-11, preceding, to see NV8576-Plus frame
structure.
Note that the expanded NV8576-Plus, consisting of 2 frames, will require 4 NV8300 power
supply frames, two for each frame.
The NV8576-Plus, of course, will be populated with expansion output cards and backplanes
instead of regular output cards and backplanes. Expansion output cards in one frame connect
to matching expansion output cards in the other frame. An expansion output card in the first
frame must match the expansion output card to which it is connected in the second frame in
type and position. See
Expansion I/O Cards on page 102 for details about matching card types.
NV8576-Plus (Stand-Alone)
A stand-alone NV8576-Plus is a single 32RU frame that have the same structure as the NV8576
frame. Please refer to figures 1-10 and 1-11, preceding to see the stand-alone NV8576-Plus
frame structure.
The stand-alone NV8576-Plus requires 2 NV8300 power supply frames.
The stand-alone NV8576-Plus, of course, will be populated with expansion output cards.
Because there is only one frame, expansion cables are not used.
