Meridian Link Release 5C/CCR Release 3C Installation and Upgrade Guide
Chapter 4: Meridian Link/CCR hardware
Meridian Link and CCR hardware consists of either an IPE Module or an
Application Module. This chapter describes both of these modules.
Note: If you require a redundant Meridian Link, an additional
Meridian Link Module (either an IPE Module or an Application
Module) must be installed.
Both the IPE Module and the Application Module use a base operating
system (BOS), which supports Meridian Link and CCR. BOS is release 3
version 7.1 of UNIX System V for 68000-family CPUs. For advanced users
who need more information, BOS provides operating system information in
the form of online manual (MAN) pages.
IPE Module
The IPE Module can be installed in a MeridianÊ1 Option 11 main cabinet or
expansion cabinet, or in a Meridian 1 Options 21Ð81 IPE shelf.
In a Meridian 1 Option 11 system, the IPE Module occupies three
consecutive slots in the main cabinet (Figure 6) or expansion cabinet
(Figure 7). Those three slots must not include slot 1 (reserved for the
SDI/TDS [NTAK03AA] card) or slots 10Ð12 in the main cabinet (reserved
for Meridian Mail).
Power for the IPE Module comes from the cabinetÕs IPE backplane and
consists of +5 V and Ð48 V.
