Adding Boards

After the NE data is configured, you need to add boards on the NE Panel if physical boards are added.
You can either add physical boards that actually perform on the NE or add logical boards that do not
exist on the actual NE.

Prerequisites

 You are an NMS user with Operator Group authority or higher.

 This operation does not apply to the Routers series, Switches series, Security series, and some
MxU series NEs.
 The NE has been created.
 There are vacant slots on the NE Panel.
 The actual power of the subrack with new physical boards is not larger than its rated power. The
rated power of subracks varies with different device versions. For details about the rated power
of different subracks, see the Hardware Description of devices.

Context

The physical boards are the actual boards inserted in the subrack. The logical boards are created on
the U2000 and are saved on the SCC board, but may not exist on the actual NE.

NOTE:
The NE panel indicates the mapping relationship between slots on house processing boards and
interface boards. When you click a processing board that is paired with an interface board in the NE
panel, the ID of the slot that houses the mapping interface board is displayed in orange.

Procedure

1. In the Main Topology, double-click the icon of the NE to open the NE Panel.

NOTE:
For the optical NE, select the NE to be added in the left pane on the NE Panel after performing
the preceding operation.
2. Adding Boards:
 Right-click the selected vacant slot and choose More from the shortcut menu. In the dialog
box that is displayed, select the desired board.
 Right-click the selected vacant slot and select a board you want to add.

3. Optional: For the PTN NE, click the to add physical boards in batches.
