Chapter 2 Illustrated Card List for MGX Switches and the MGX 8880 Media Gateway
Front Cards
Card Slots
In an MGX 8880 chassis or an MGX 8850 chassis VXSM cards can be installed in slots 1 through 6 and
9 through 14. Slots 7 and 8 are reserved for PXM45/C cards and slots 15 and 16 are reserved for SRME
and SRME/B cards. These twelve slots (1 through 6 and 9 through 14) are available for VXSM cards.
However, installed AXSM and/or RPM-XF cards also share these slots.
Slots 15 and 16 are reserved for SRME and SRME/B cards. These cards are typically not used in a Media
Gateway application, and the slots must be left empty.
When 1:1 redundant VXSM front cards are configured, the redundant pair must be installed in adjacent
slots (for example, slots 1 and 2 or slots 9 and 10).
Note MGX 8850 (PXM45) switches are not shipped from the factory with VXSM cards installed.
