CSX7000 Guide22 CyberSWITCHThe first CSX7000 is configured with two groups and an EMS processor:• First group: the processor board must be in slot 1, with the remaining boards in slots 2 through8. Shunts are required between 2 and 3, 4 and 5, 6 and 7.• Second group: the processor board will go in slot 9, followed by the remaining two boards inslots 10 and 11. A shunt is required between 10 and 11.• Since this is the first of two CSX7000s, the EMS module must be located in slot 15 of this firstplatform.Our second CSX7000 is configured with four groups, as follows:• First group: the processor board is located in slot 1, with the remaining boards in slots 2 through6 (shunts between 2,3 and 4,5).• Second group: the processor board is located in slot 7, with the remaining boards in slots 8, 9 and10 (shunt between 8,9)• Third group: the processor board is located in slot 11, with the remaining boards in slots 12, 13,and 14 (shunt between 12,13)• The last group: the processor board is located in slot 15, and the second board is located in slot16.Note that since the second CSX7000 is also controlled by the EMS module in the first CSX7000, slots15 and 16 on the second CSX7000 are available for another group.S YSTEM GROUP/P ROCESSOR M ODULE I NSTALLATIONSystem groups (including processor modules) will be factory preinstalled. However, in the eventof an on-site upgrade, refer to EMS Installation or Processor Module Installation. Note that non-conductive mylar sheets should be used between PM boards and adjacent cards; and the entirebackplane should be secured with the strain relief cross-bar once all system groups are installed.THE EMSThe Environmental Management System (EMS) is a combination of hardware and softwarefeatures that collect information and alarms, as well as carry out processor control commands inthe CSX7000 (subsystem). The EMS Module may monitor and control up to 31 CSX7000s as a singlecluster. However, a typical cluster configuration controlled by EMS would contain a maximum ofeight platforms.1st group 8 boards (maximumallowed per system)2nd group 3 boardsEMS module 1 board1st group 6 boards2nd group 4 boards3rd group 4 boards4th group 2 boards
