numbered with Output Slot 1 corresponding to outputs 1–18, Output Slot 2 to outputs 19–36, and
so on.
Each card inserted in a slot manages a range of numbers. However, when making physical connec-
tions on the backplanes, each connector has a specific signal number assigned. For details on signal
numbering on backplanes, see Backplane Connectors and Individual Signal Numbers
on page 59.
Figure 1-5 shows the standalone NV8576 frame and which signal numbers correspond to which
slots when viewing the router from the front.
