4 Configuring the Switch/Load Unit
For example, Figure 4-1 shows the standard locations for matrix
and load cards for a system which contains three matrix cards,
a custom card, two 24 channel, four 16 channel, one 8 channel,
and one 8 channel heavy duty load card. If using this
configuration, be sure to leave the slots open between the cards,
as shown in the figure.
Load Card Types and IDS
Each card is assigned a different type and has a 10-pin
connector that lets you assign a unique binary code ID number
to each card. See“Load Card Type and Configuration ID" for
more information.
