Configuration notes

The following is a list of provisioning guidelines and restrictions:

  • The IOM can only be designated slot 1 of the chassis.

  • An IOM must be preprovisioned to accept specific adapter card types; the card type is always iom-sar.

    If an adapter card type is installed in a slot provisioned for a different type, the card will not initialize.

  • An adapter card installed in an unprovisioned slot remains administratively and operationally down until the IOM software is activated and the MDA slot and type is specified.

  • Ports cannot be provisioned until the IOM software is activated and the MDA type is specified.
