System Hardware Limits

The following limits apply:

  • IVC-32, E-Que and LMC-64 cards are high-power devices, and you can only install a total of four of these cards in an Eclipse Median or Delta frame. If more high-power cards are installed, the CPU only services the first four cards (based on lower slot numbers). In this case, a warning message is sent to the event log every 10 minutes.

  •  

This information is summarized in the table below:

Note Fitting a fan tray is recommended if you install more than four high-power cards.
