3Com 6416SW Network Card User Manual


 
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).
