Alcatel-Lucent 7705 - Adapter Cards

7705 SAR-8 Overview
Page 46 7705 SAR-8 Installation Guide
Figure 6 shows the CSM faceplate. Refer to CSM Connectors and LEDs on page 128 for
identification and description of the CSM faceplate features.
There must be at least one CSM installed in the 7705 SAR-8. Install two CSMs for system
redundancy. The redundant CSM operates in standby mode and takes over system operation
if the active (primary) CSM fails. CSMs are field-replaceable and hot-swappable. Refer to
7705 SAR OS Basic System Configuration Guide for information on CSM redundancy.
The CSM connects directly to the backplane and carries traffic between adapter cards. The
switch fabric portion of the CSM receives and directs traffic to the appropriate destinations
according to the routing information.
The CSM also provides 1.0/2.3 coaxial connectors for an external synchronization input and
output. For redundant CSM configurations, a Y-cable can be used to connect the Sync In
connectors on the two CSMs to the same external synchronization source.
Adapter Cards
Adapter cards on the 7705 SAR-8 provide a wide variety of interfaces of different speed and
type, including Ethernet (10/100/1000 Base-T and optical), and T1/E1 (channelized and
unchannelized). The 7705 SAR-8 also supports SONET/SDH (OC3/STM1) channelized and
unchannelized interfaces, and V.35 and RS-232 (also known as EIA/TIA-232) serial data
interfaces.
The 7705 SAR-8 Adapter cards are hot-swappable and field-replaceable by qualified
personnel. Adapter cards are installed in slots MDA 1 through MDA 6. Refer to Figure 5 for
adapter card slot locations on the 7705 SAR-8, and to the appropriate adapter card
installation guide for installation and LED information.

Note: There is an IOM software module on the CSM that must be activated before any
adapter card and port parameter can be provisioned and configured. The IOM is activated
using the card and card-type CLI commands to specify its slot number and card type.

Provisioning CSM and Adapter Card Parameters on page 124 for more information.
