ATM Backplane
All data transmitted between modules in the ATM subsystem passes through the ATM
backplane. Data is switched between ATM media modules in the ATM subsystem by a
6416SW module. 6416SW modules are installed in slot positions 9 and 10 in the ATM
backplane of 10-slot models, and slot positions 9 and 10 and/or 11 and 12 in the ATM
backplane of 17-slot models. These positions are shown in Figure 1-1.

Two 6416SW modules may be installed in the 17-slot models. This allows for 6416SW
redundancy (see page “ATM Switch/Control Redundancy” on page 1-13).
