2046.0. "CBS Card rev level ... for FGL-4 in slot 10" by NCMAIL::SCHEID () Thu May 16 1996 11:52

    In the Gigaswitch Installation Guide ... on page 1-24 ... is the
    following note:
    
    For certain revisions of the crossbar (CBS) module, slot 10 acts as
    a 2-port slot. If it is required to place a FGL-4 in slot 10, the
    proper CBS card must be present.
    
    
    
    
    Could someone tell what the proper revision of the CBS card is ...
    My customer wants to put FGL-4's in slot 10 of 2 different Gigaswitches

       ...the -02 varient is the proper varient.  We have only made -02
    varients for a long time now, but very old installations may have the
    original CBS, and it's conceiveable that some stockrooms may have the
    old CBS varients.

        I checked the part number - the serial number sticker will have 
    54-22116-01 for the old CBS varient without the fix and it will have
    54-22116-02 for the new CBS varient with the fix.
    
        The wire adds for the fix are pretty obvious too...
