PCI slotting rules
Each platform provides two PCI slots for use with the NMS telephony cards. You must install the telephony cards according the specific rules for each Avaya IR platform.
Sun Fire V240 slotting rules
The Sun Fire V240 has three PCI slots (PCI-0, PCI-1, and PCI-2). The following rules govern the number and placement of the telephony cards for systems using this platform:
- The system may have a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 2 NMS telephony cards (T1 or E1).
- Install either the NMS AG-4000 or the NMS AG-4040 quad telephony cards with four digital interfaces. If two cards are used, you can install one NMS AG-4000 and one NMS AG-4040 quad telephony card.
- If one telephony card is used, install it in the PCI-1 slot. If two cards are used, install them in the PCI-1 and PCI-2 slots. (PCI-1 is the middle slot, and PCI-2 is the top slot.)
- Do not use the bottom PCI slot (PCI-0).
Sun Fire 280R slotting rules
The Sun Fire 280R has four PCI slots (PCI-1, PCI-2, PCI-3, and PCI-4). The following rules govern the number and placement of the telephony cards for systems using this platform:
- The system may have a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 2 NMS telephony cards (T1 or E1).
- Every system has an additional Ethernet card in PCI-1 slot (default configuration from Sun).
- Install either the NMS AG-4000 or the NMS AG-4040 quad telephony cards with four digital interfaces. If two cards are used, you can install one NMS AG-4000 and one NMS AG-4040 quad telephony card.
- If one telephony card is used, install it in the PCI-2 slot. If two cards are used, install them in the PCI-2 and PCI-3 slots.
- Do not use the fourth PCI slot (PCI-4).
Sun Blade 150 slotting rules
The Sun Blade 150 has three PCI slots (PCI-1, PCI-2, and PCI-3). The following rules govern the number and placement of the telephony cards for systems using this platform:
- The system may have a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 2 telephony cards (T1 or E1).
- Install either the NMS AG-4000 or the NMS AG-4040 dual telephony cards with two digital interfaces. If two cards are used, you can install one NMS AG-4000 and one NMS AG-4040 dual telephony card.
- If one telephony card is used, install it in the PCI-1 slot. If two cards are used, install them in the PCI-1 and PCI-2 slots.
- Do not use the third PCI slot (PCI-3).
