Add MCC Port Carriers
A new port carrier can be installed when additional features or equipment
exceed the capacity of the present system. Port carriers are identified as B, C, D,
and E except for a PPN cabinet with the duplication option. The “B” carrier is the
second control carrier. PEC 63155 provides the necessary equipment for adding
the carrier.
Add each new port carrier to a port network in the “B,” “C,” “D,” “E” order of
carrier positions.
Before proceeding with the addition of a port carrier, ensure that 3 TN1650B
Memory Circuit Packs exist in the system. Refer to the section entitled ‘‘Remove
the Circuit Packs’’ on page 1-11 for installation instructions.
Before proceeding with the addition of a port carrier, ensure that the TN1657 Disk
Drive is of Vintage 4 (or higher). Refer to
Chapter 1, ‘‘Upgrading G3rV2, V3, V4 to
R8r and Adding Memory’’ for installation instructions.
