6500 PLUS Auxiliary Processor Cards
Introduction 6500 PLUS auxiliary processor cards increase throughput for 6507 PLUS and 6525 PLUS
nodes. They provide additional processing power, as well as six additional ports.
Description A 6500 PLUS auxiliary processor card is a 6507 PLUS or 6525 PLUS processor card without
a FLASH module, meaning that the card lacks software storage capabilities.
Optionally, you can purchase a FLASH module for a 6500
PLUS auxiliary processor
card for downloading software. The front panel is the same as the front panel of the
6500
PLUS processor cards shown in Figure 1-3.
Note
You cannot use a 6500 PLUS auxiliary processor card as the primary processor
card in a node and cannot install it in the lowest-numbered slot in the node.
The 6500
PLUS auxiliary processor card is intended to be used for redundancy and
to increase node performance.
