Introduction

 

The 7C04 Chassis (Figure 1-1) is a rack-mountable, multi-media, 
switching center. The chassis is a stand-alone device that features a 
removable power supply. Two fans within the power supply 
provide system cooling. LANVIEW LEDs on the power supply 
indicate at-a-glance device status. 

The chassis has four module slots. The slots are numbered from 
top to bottom; the top slot is number one the bottom slot is number 
four. The 7X00 Module must be inserted in the chassis’ top slot 
(slot one). The other three slots can support nearly any 
combination of Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and ATM 
SmartSwitch interface modules

Data from each SmartSwitch interface module (regardless of front 
panel technology) is relayed along the SmartSwitch Bus on the 
7C04 Chassis’ backplane to the 7X00 Module. All switching 
functions are performed by hardware components on the 7X00 
Module. No external bridges or routers are required to transfer 
data from one point to another within the chassis.
