NV8576 and NV8576-Plus
Figure 1-18 shows the front of the NV8576 router frame with the door removed. From this view,
you can see the modules inserted in the slots. The NV8576 and the NV8576-Plus have identical
frames. Unique expansion output cards and corresponding expansion output backplanes enable the
NV8576-Plus router to connect to another NV8576-Plus frame. The frames themselves are not
changed. For more information, see Frame Expansion
on page 45.
The router is divided into three general regions: upper, middle and lower. The upper and lower
regions are mirror images of each other featuring 32 slots for output cards and 32 slots for input
