Cisco 6200 User Guide 1-2
The Cisco DSL family also includes a Frame Relay IDSL multiplexer, a service selection gateway,
the Cisco 605 card, the Cisco 6100 DSLAM, and an ATM switch to aggregate Cisco 6200 traffic.
1.2 Cisco 6200 Chassis
This section describes the chassis that houses the Cisco 6200 DSLAM.
The Cisco 6200 consists of circuitry and connections that reside within a shelf or chassis that allows
modular insertion and removal of the various field-replaceable units (FRUs). The chassis consists of
a module compartment, a fan compartment, a power module compartment, a backplane, and I/O
cabling. Figure 1-1 shows the front of the chassis; Figure 1-2 shows the back.
1.2.1 Module Compartment
The module compartment holds all circuitry that relates to Cisco 6200 operation. The module
compartment includes 14 slots that hold the modules (cards):
•
Slot 1: Holds the network trunk card (NTC).
•
Slot 2: Holds the management processor card (MPC).
•
Slots 3 and 4: Unoccupied in this release of the system.
•
Slots 5 to 14: Hold up to ten subscriber line cards (SLCs).
All Cisco 6200 cards can be installed and removed while the rest of the system continues to operate.
(However, the system cannot pass data if the NTC is removed.) The NTC, MPC, and SLCs are
described later in this chapter.
