•  Control Panel: The control panel, located on the front panel below the hard disk, provides 
system controls and indicators. The control panel is not visible unless the front panel of 
the cabinet is removed.
•  Quad Fiber Interface Module (FIM) Carrier: Set in the rear panel of the cabinet, this 5 
inch wide x 4.5 inch high (12.7 cm x 11.4 cm) carrier holds a Quad FIM Carrier card and 
up to four Fiber Interface Modules (FIMs). The FIMs in a Quad FIM Carrier connect to the 
control backplane through two ribbon cables. There are four standoffs on the rear panel; 
two installed above the Quad FIM Carrier card and two installed below. These standoffs 
extend beyond the fiber cable connectors to protect them from damage.
•  Control Interconnect Card: This card provides two slots to accommodate the Main Con-
troller card and the Control Resource card connection. In addition, it provides the physical 
and electrical interface for a pair of Fiber Carrier card ribbon cables, the SCSI ribbon cable, 
the power cable connectors, the printer port connector, the maintenance port connector, 
the remote alarms port connector, and the control panel connector. 
•  Rear Panel: The following switches and connectors are located on the rear panel of the 
cabinet:
- A power on/off switch (see note)
- A small red sliding-type switch for selecting the input power source (see note).
The switch can be set to 115 Vac, 60 Hz or 230 Vac, 50 Hz.
- A 3-conductor male receptacle for connecting AC power (see note)
- A 3-conductor female power receptacle (see note and caution)
- The Tx and Rx connectors on each Fiber Interface Module
- An RS-232 printer port for call accounting output
- An RS-232 maintenance port
- A remote alarms port.
Note: The 18-inch cabinet provides 2 power on/off switches, switches for selecting the input power 
source, 3-conductor male receptacles, and 3-conductor female power receptacles; one of each 
is reserved for a future redundant power supply.
CAUTION: Do not connect any devices to the female power receptacle.
