Requirements for Installing a TRIM Card
Introduction This section describes the requirements for installing a TRIM card. TRIM cards are
suitable only in a Modulus enclosure and only with 6507
PLUS and 6525 PLUS cards.
A 6500 PLUS node can support only one TRIM card. Modulus 8 and Modulus 9
enclosures can support just one node containing a TRIM card. Modulus 18 and 21
enclosures can support up to three nodes containing TRIM cards.
TRIM Card Upgrade
Kits The following product codes allow you to upgrade your system for LAN
compatibility:
TRIM-Compatible
Processor Card Not all 6500 PLUS processor cards can support the TRIM card. A processor card that
supports a TRIM card has a “LAN COMPATIBLE” label on the lower front panel.
TRIM cards can be physically mounted on all 6500
PLUS processor cards, but work
only with cards marked “LAN COMPATIBLE.” If your processor card does not
have this marking, see your VanguardMS sales representative to order a LAN-
capable processor card.
In multiple-CPU configurations, only the processor card supporting the TRIM card
needs to be LAN-compatible.
