IBM 8260 Switch User Manual


 
Right Boundary Adapter: This adapter is a full length adapter and occupies
one slot. Installation of this adapter results in 16 slots remaining available in
the 8260 for the installation of media and management modules. It is
recommended that you install this adapter in slot 17. The reason for this is
that if an 8250 management module becomes the master management
module, it will always see the Controller module installed in slot 17.
Therefore, if there is any other module installed in this position, it will not be
recognized by the xMM.
Note: If a DMM is the master management module, it will always be able to
recognize the module installed in slot 17.
Left Boundary Adapter: This adapter will be installed on the left boundary of
the area occupied by the 8250 modules. The top portion of this adapter
provides a filler plate, while the bottom-portion will provide you with the
room to install an 8250 module.
Dual-slot Top Filler: This adapter provides the filler plate for two slots of the
8260 providing you with the room to install two single-slot (or one dual-slot)
8250 module.
Single-slot Top Filler: This adapter provides the filler plate for one slot of the
8260 providing you with the room to install a single-slot 8250 module. Note
that two of these adapters can be used to install a dual-slot 8250 module.
The components of the 8250 adapter kit are shown in Figure 2.
