5.1 Card Overview
The card overview section contains card summary, compatibility, interface class, and channel allocation

Note Each card is marked with a symbol that corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 shelf assembly.
The cards are then installed into slots displaying the same symbols. See the “1.16.1 Card Slot
Requirements” section on page 1-61 for a list of slots and symbols.
