Page 122 7210 SAS M, T, X, R6, R12, Mxp, S, Sx Interface Configuration Guide
Basic Configuration
7210 SAS platforms that do not support any removable cards and/or MDAs (for example, 7210
SAS-M, 7210 SAS-X, 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-Sx
10/100GE), the card and MDA is auto-provisioned and operators can directly start with identifying
and configuring the ports as given below. If the operators intends to use the expansion slot on 7210
SAS-M, then they must start with the step in identifying and configuring the MDA slot.
On 7210 SAS chassis based platforms, (for example, 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12), the card
type must be provisioned and operators need to start from the identifying the chassis slot and
configuration of the slot and card type, as given below.
The most basic configuration must have the following:
• Identify chassis slot (if applicable)
• Specify line card type (must be an allowed card type).
• Identify MDA slot (if applicable)
• Specify MDA (must be an allowed MDA type) - if applicable
• Identify specific port to configure.
